In this thesis we study the key requirements and solutions for the feasibility and application of Ethernet-TCP/IP technology to the networks we termed Highly-Variable Real-Time Networks (HVRN). This particular class of networks poses exceptionally demanding requirements because their physical and logical topologies are both temporally and spatially variable. We devised and introduced specific mechanisms for applying Ethernet-TCP/IP to HVRNs with particular emphasis on effective and reliable modular connectivity. Using a railroad train as a reference, this work analyzes the unique requirements of HVRNs and focuses on the backbone architecture for such a system under Ethernet and TCP/IP. / Doctorat en sciences appliquées / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

Introduction : Le virus de l’hépatite C (VHC), est l’une des premières causes de pathologie hépatique dans le monde. Ce virus à ARN est responsable de l’hépatite C qui aboutit au développement de la cirrhose et du cancer du foie. Selon l’Organisation Mondiale de la Santé, le VHC infecte actuellement plus de 170 millions de personnes dans le monde, soit 3% de la population. L’hépatite C chronique connait toujours en Tunisie un taux de guérison faible pour le génotype 1 car le traitement standard actuellement disponible est la bithérapie interféron pégylé associé à la ribavirine. A l’heure actuelle, le développement de différentes molécules ciblant spécifiquement le VHC, appelées les antiviraux à action directe (AAD), apparait comme une potentielle révolution dans le traitement de l’infection par le VHC.Ces AAD comprennent les inhibiteurs de protéase (IP), les inhibiteurs nucléos(t)idiques (IN) et les inhibiteurs non-nucléosidiques (INN) de la polymérase NS5B ainsi que les inhibiteurs de la protéine NS5A. La quasi-espèce virale est formée d’un mélange complexe de variants viraux parmi lesquels se trouvent des variants associés à des degrés variables à la résistance aux AAD. Ces variants peuvent donc exister naturellement en absence de toute pression médicamenteuse et sont susceptibles d’avoir un impact sur la réponse aux différents traitements par AAD. Notre objectif était de déterminer la prévalence des variants associés à la résistance dans les souches tunisiennes circulantes en préambule à l’introduction deces molécules en Tunisie. Méthodes : L’amplification et le séquençage direct de la protéase NS3, de la polymérase NS5B ainsi que la région NS5A ont été effectuées chez 149 patients tunisiens naïfs de traitement et infectés par le VHC de génotype 1 (génotype 1b = 142 ; génotype 1a = 7). Résultats : Douze séquences NS3 (12/131 ; 9,2%) ont montré des mutations connes pour conférer une résistance aux IP. Une seule séquence (1/95 ; 1,1%) a montré la mutation V321I connue pour conférer une résistance aux IN-NS5B. Trente quatre séquences (34/95 ; 35,8%) ont montré des mutations connues pour diminuer la sensibilité des INN-NS5B. Une seule séquence de génotype 1a (1/7 ; 14,3%) et 17 séquences de génotype 1b (17/112 ; 16,2%) ont montré des mutations connues pour conférer une résistance au inhibiteurs de la protéine NS5A. Conclusions : Notre étude a permis de mettre en évidence la présence de substitutions conférant une diminution de la sensibilité aux AAD chez des patients tunisiens naïfs de tout traitement anti-VHC. Des études in situ seront nécessaires pour évaluer l’impact de ces mutations sur la réponse au traitement. / Introduction: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major cause of liver disease worldwide. This RNA virus is responsible for hepatitis C, which leads to the development of cirrhosis and liver cancer. According to the World Health Organization, HCV infects more than 170 million people worldwide, about 3% of the population. Chronic hepatitis C still know in Tunisia low cure rates for genotype 1, because the currently standard treatment available is combination therapy of pegylated interferon plus ribavirin. At present, the development of different molecules that specifically target HCV, called direct-acting antivirals (DAA) appears as a potential revolution in the treatment of HCV infection. These DAA include protease inhibitors (PI), nucleos(t)ide (NI) and non-nucleoside inhibitors (NNI) for NS5B polymerase and NS5A inhibitors. The viral quasispecies is formed by a complex mixture of viral variants including variants associated with variable degrees of resistance to DAA. These variants may therefore exist naturally in absence of drug pressure and may affect response to different treatments by DAA. Our objective was to determine the prevalence of variants associated with resistance in circulating Tunisian strains preamble to the introduction of these molecules in Tunisia. Methods: Amplification and direct sequencing of NS3 protease, NS5B polymerase and NS5A region were performed in 149 Tunisian naïve patients infected with HCV genotype 1 (genotype 1b = 142; genotype 1a = 7) . Results: Twelve sequences NS3 (12/131; 9.2%) showed mutations known to confer resistance to PI. One sequence (1/95; 1.1%) showed the V321I mutation known to confer resistance to NS5B-IN. Thirty four sequences (34/95; 35.8%) showed mutations known to reduce the sensitivity of NS5B-INN. One genotype 1a sequence (1/7; 14.3%) and 17 genotype 1b sequences (17/112; 16.2%) showed mutations known to confer resistance to NS5A inhibitors.Conclusions: Our study highlighted the presence of substitutions conferring decreased susceptibility to DAA in naïve patients infected with HCV genotype 1. Field studies will be needed to evaluate the impact of these mutations on the treatment response.

For this purpose, technological, financial and human resources are required, which must be invested in the providers’ main traffic services network, which is called IP backbone. Like any project, IP backbone projects do not flee the rule and are also subject to several risks that, if ignored during the kickoff and planning stages, could jeopardize their implementation by telecommunications providers, impacting on their final results, whether strategic or operational. The objective of this dissertation was to analyze the influence of risk categories in IP backbone projects on strategic and operational results in telecommunications providers. The approach of this work was qualitative with multiple case studies, being taken as units of analysis three IP backbone projects of two Brazilian telecommunications providers. The results showed which categories of risk were found and what impacts they can have on strategic and operational results. / Na visão atual das operadoras de telecomunicações, a qualidade e a disponibilidade constante dos serviços ofertados aos clientes são vitais para a continuidade dos negócios, evitando assim desistências e reduções de faturamento bruto. Para esta finalidade, são necessários recursos tecnológicos, financeiros e humanos, os quais devem ser investidos na principal rede de tráfego de serviços da operadora, a qual é denominada de backbone IP. Como todo projeto, os projetos de backbone IP não fogem à regra e também se encontram sujeitos a riscos diversos que, se ignorados durante as etapas de planejamento e kickoff, podem comprometer sua implantação pelas operadoras de telecomunicações, com impactos em seus resultados finais, sejam eles estratégicos ou operacionais. O objetivo desta dissertação foi o de analisar a influência de categorias de riscos em projetos de backbone IP nos resultados estratégicos e operacionais em operadoras de telecomunicações. A abordagem desta dissertação foi qualitativa com estudos de casos múltiplos, sendo tomados como unidades de análise três projetos de backbone IP de duas operadoras nacionais de telecomunicações. Os resultados encontrados mostraram quais categorias de riscos foram encontradas e quais os impactos que elas podem produzir nos resultados estratégicos e operacionais.

The interface includes the implementation of link-layer Ethernet protocol and network protocols such as IPv4, ARP, ICMP and UDP. The final design allows bi-directional communication on the transport-layer level of TCP/IP model. The designed interface was implemented into Virtex5 FPGA chip on development board ML506 by Xilinx.

My master thesis estimates physical location of potential operating system attacker. It deals with basic methods of attack against operating system: spam and viruses, searching the Internet, port scanning and operating system detection. The thesis disserts about a port scanner Nmap, a port scanning detector Scanlogd and about a system log watch Swatch. The thesis deals with geolocation methods of potential operating system attacker. These geolocation methods are divided into an active and a passive types. The active methods measure delay in the Internet. The passive methods query the database. I mentioned a freely accessible Whois database and MaxMind databases. There is a program developed and practically tested. The program simulates an attacker beginning an attack by scanning ports of target machine. The program works with dataset of real IP addresses. The program also detects the attack against operating system. The real and evaluated location of an attacker is got and then shown in a map. At the end there is a review of results and data comparison with colleagues.
