3. Create a scenario to analyze the performance of Ethernet LAN protocol through

simulation in the following situations. (100)
i) Select 3 nodes and carry out data transfer between them with
different packet sizes, different maximum back off time and
different error generation.
ii) Select 4 nodes and carry out data transfer between them and
analyze the result when the data transfer is going on. Disconnect
one node and observe and record.
iii) Select 4 nodes and carry out data transfer between them and Stop
the simulation, analyze the result, reset the setup, analyze and
record.
