    Abstract

    This paper presents studies for the end-to-end QoS of IP over integrated terrestrial and Next Generation Satellite Network (NGSN) using FTP. We compare between LEO and GEO satellites constellations for the QoS parameters (i.e. delay, jitter, loss rate and throughput) of file transfer from a remote server in London and a remote client in Boston. We model the file transfer with multiple connections and file size variation according to Exponential and Pareto distributions respectively. We create the scenario with error model to simulate transmission loss environment using the NS-2 simulation software. A Differentiated Services (Diffserv) queue interface is placed in the server side to regulate the traffic flows across the narrow bandwidth of the satellite links. The results showed the performance evaluation and presented a good comparison of the QoS parameters involved in the data transfer across LEO and GEO satellites systems.

    Abstract

    A delay tolerant network is a highly constrained networking environment which is low in resources such as memory, bandwidth and battery power. In opportunistic DTNs, nodes cooperatively forward packets for each other through the carry-store-and-forward paradigm. Opportunistic data forwarding can be abused by an adversary by injecting spurious packets in order to waste the resources of the network. To guard against such attacks, it is important to authenticate packets at intermediate nodes. Packet authentication in itself comes with overheads such as computation cost and energy consumption which can be exploited by an attacker to mount a denial of service attack. We propose the use of light-weight DTN-cookies to protect this vital security service from such malicious exploitation. We show through simulations that our proposed mechanisms can improve network performance and save considerable amount of power even in the presence of attackers.

    Abstract

    The broadband satellite multimedia (BSM) architecture standardised by ETSI defines a satellite independent service access point (SI-SAP) interface layer that separates the satellite independent features of the upper layers from the satellite dependant features of the lower layers, and provides a mechanism to carry IP-based protocols over these satellite dependent lower layers. This enables interoperability at the IP layer between satellite systems of different physical and link layers technologies that fully comply with the SI-SAP concept. This study reviews past and current standardisation activities including the BSM quality of service (QoS) architecture, security architecture, network management that have been carried out by the ETSI Technical Committee-Satellite Earth Stations and Systems (TC-SES)/BSM working group and looking into the future to extend current SI-SAP functions that can enhance existing QoS provision and security management capabilities as well as proposing a mobility management architecture that complies with the IEEE 802.21 media independent handover framework to support BSM mobility and to allow integration of satellite networks with fixed and mobile network infrastructures. A service-based network management architecture is also proposed to allow management flexibility and integration of business and operation support functions, paving the way for satellite integration into the Internet of the future.

    Abstract

    Network simulator has been acknowledged as one of the most flexible means in studying and developing protocol as it allows virtually endless numbers of simulated network environments to be setup and protocol of interest to be fine-tuned without requiring any real-world complicated and costly network experiment. However, depending on researchers, the same protocol of interest can be developed in different ways and different implementations may yield the outcomes that do not accurately capture the dynamics of the real protocol. In the last decade, TCP, the protocol on which the Internet is based, has been extensively studied in order to study and reevaluate its performance particularly when TCP based applications and services are deployed in an emerging Next Generation Network (NGN) and Next Generation Internet (NGI). As a result, to understand the realistic interaction of TCP with new types of networks and technologies, a combination of a real-world TCP and a network simulator seems very essential. This work presents an integration of real-world TCP implementation of Linux TCP/IP network stack into a network simulator, called INET. Moreover, verification and validation of the integrated Linux TCP are performed within INET framework to ensure the validity of the integration. The results clearly confirm that the integrated Linux TCP displays reasonable and consistent dynamics with respect to the behaviors of the real-world Linux TCP. Finally, to demonstrate the application of the INET with Linux TCP extension, algorithms of other Linux TCP variants and their dynamic over a large-bandwidth long-delay network are briefly presented.

    Abstract

    Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is one of the major research areas in computer network field today. The function of WSN in this paper is to provide sensing services in an un-attended harsh environment. Sensed data need to be delivered to the base station and to cope with the network unreliability problem. Few routing protocol takes into consideration of this problem. It is a great challenge of the hierarchical routing protocol to provide network survivability through redundancy features. In this paper, a short literature review of the existing routing protocol is carried out. Then a novel hierarchical routing protocol, which addresses network survivability and redundancy issues, is introduced. Initial analysis shows promising results of the proposed protocol comparing with LEACH, which is a well known protocol as benchmark. Finally, conclusion was drawn based on the research and future direction for further research is identified.

    Abstract

    A secure multicast communication is important for applications such as pay-per-view and secure videoconferencing. A key tree approach has been proposed by other authors to distribute the multicast group key in such a way that the rekeying cost scales with the logarithm of the group size for a join or depart request. The efficiency of this key tree approach critically depends on whether the key tree remains balanced over time as members join or depart. In this paper, we present two Merging Algorithms suitable for batch join requests. To additionally handle batch depart requests, we extend these two algorithms to a Batch Balanced Algorithm. Simulation results show that our three algorithms not only maintain a balanced key tree, but their rekeying costs are lower compared with those of existing algorithms. © 2007 IEEE.

    Abstract

    This paper presents the QoS performance evaluation studies of IP over integrated terrestrial and Next Generation Satellite Network (NGSN) for HTTP web, file transfer, video streaming and VoIP applications. We compare the QoS parameters (e.g. delay, loss ratio and throughput) of the multiservice applications over Ka-Sat like satellite and the ITU-R standard Hypothetical Reference Digital Path (HRDP). We model the multiservice applications with multiple connections, different files sizes and connection durations variations. We simulate the network scenario with error model for the transmission loss environment using NS-2. A Differentiated Services (Diffserv) queue interface is used in the terrestrial network to regulate and differentiate the traffic flows while a priority queue is used as the satellite on-board-processing unit (OBP). The results showed a better top-down comparison of the QoS parameters involved in each application service across GEO satellite and the standard terrestrial digital data link.

    Abstract

    There are a variety of satellite applications that require application intelligence at intermediate devices for their proper functioning e.g. satellite networks using (Performance Enhancing Proxies, PEPs), real time streaming applications like SIP, H.323 and peer-to-peer applications. Interworking between PEPs and security system has been researched in the past. Multi-layer IPSec (ML-IPSec) resolves the conflict between end-to-end security in standard IPSec and working of PEPs. This paper presents the concept and detailed design of ML-IPSec by breaking the IP datagram into three zones while enabling the intermediate nodes to access the TCP header and HTTP header information. The paper also presents an efficient interworking scheme between ML-IPSec and secure IP multicast using the Logical Key Hierarchy for key distribution.

    Abstract

    The concept of Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs) has been utilized for wireless sensor networks, mobile ad hoc networks, interplanetary networks, pocket switched networks and suburb networks for developing region. Because of these application prospects, DTNs have received attention from academic community. Whereas only a few state of the art routing algorithms in DTNs address the problem of aborted messages due to the insufficient encounter duration. In order to reduce these aborted messages, we propose a routing framework which consists of two optional routing functions. Specifically, only one of them is activated according to the encounter angle between pairwise nodes. Besides, the copies of the undelivered message carried by most of the nodes in the network are more likely to be cleared out after successful transfer, which reduces the number of unnecessary transmissions for message delivery. By means of the priority for message transmission and deletion in case of the limited network resource, the proposed algorithm achieves the high delivery ratio with low overhead as well as less number of aborted messages due to the insufficient encounter duration, thus is more energy efficient.

    Abstract

    Privacy, Anonymity, pseudonymity are the debatable terms which on one angle restrict the rights but on other angle open doors for malacious activity.This paper propses design for a pseudonymised communication which is optimal solution for the privacy issues, where the real identity is hidden from the outside world by using blind signature in a different way of group commmunication.The protocol is deployed and analysed in extreme environment of Delay Tolerant Networks (DTN), which is overlay on the top of traditional Internet which provides end to end connectivity and charactarised with long delay and disruption. A telemedicine application of rural area network is explored to provide source anonymity.The protocol is finally analysed using Dolev Yao model with two different cases and it preserves the orignal identity of the node.

    Abstract

    Security of satellite data is becoming an important issue. The DVB (TV broadcasting) Conditional Access system used in satellite broadcasting has however been surrounded by controversy for many years due to the spread of counterfeit smart cards, and this paper examines the weaknesses of current DVB-S security. We provide an alternative solution to secure multicast services over satellites using IPSEC and a group key management system called GSAKMP.
