Abstract: Salahaddin University is the oldest and the biggest university in Kurdistan region. It involves 14 colleges and 3 academic centers. The new university campus that will be established on an area of 10km2 provides a challenge of designing, efficient and robust networking infrastructure due to increased demand on data and data processing applications like FTP (File Transfer Protocol) which is a vital protocol in an academic environment. At access layer (college level) Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) is employed to provide Wi-Fi to the end user for ultimate mobility. At backbone level four scenarios have been proposed and tested for a proposed university campus. These scenarios used to connect each college Wi-Fi router to Cisco core switch (6509). The first scenario uses optical fiber cable 1000Base-LX (Gigabit- Ethernet), while in the second scenario the Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) based core switch is used to connect (Gigabit- Ethernet) cables. The third scenario uses FDDI (Fiber Distributed Data Interface) technology. In the fourth scenario, a combination of the VLAN based core switch and FDDI is presented. In the four scenarios, the core switch is connected to the main router Cisco (7507) which connects the campus network to the cloud. The network performance and behavior have been studied by calculating network load throughput and delay. The system has been implemented using OPNET (Optimized Network Engineering Tool) simulator modular 14.5. The simulation results show that the fourth scenario gives minimum delay while maximum data transfer (throughput) is achieved by the fourth scenario.
