ITC/USA 2012 Conference Proceedings / The Forty-Eighth Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 22-25, 2012 / Town and Country Resort & Convention Center, San Diego, California / Telemetry systems are migrating from links to networks. Security solutions that simply encrypt radio links no longer protect the network of Test Articles or the networks that support them. The use of network telemetry is dramatically expanding and new risks and vulnerabilities are challenging issues for telemetry networks. Most of these vulnerabilities are silent in nature and cannot be detected with simple tools such as traffic monitoring. The Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is a security mechanism suited to telemetry networks that can help detect abnormal behavior in the network. Our previous research in Network Intrusion Detection Systems focused on "Password" attacks and "Syn" attacks. This paper presents a generalized method that can detect both "Password" attack and "Syn" attack. In this paper, a K-means Clustering algorithm is used for vector quantization of network traffic. This reduces the scope of the problem by reducing the entropy of the network data. In addition, a Hidden-Markov Model (HMM) is then employed to help to further characterize and analyze the behavior of the network into states that can be labeled as normal, attack, or anomaly. Our experiments show that IDS can discover and expose telemetry network vulnerabilities using Vector Quantization and the Hidden Markov Model providing a more secure telemetry environment. Our paper shows how these can be generalized into a Network Intrusion system that can be deployed on telemetry networks.

This thesis deals with simulation of routing protocol OSPF in simulation software called OMNeT++. OMNeT++ is a discrete modular simulator mostly used for simulation of computer networks. This thesis includes theory needed for an understanding of the functionality of OSPFv2 and changes in OSPFv3 for IPv6, which are implemented in the model itself. Moreover, thesis contains the configuration of OSPFv3 protocol on topology created from Cisco devices following by analysis of previous source files, state of implementation and its further extension. Thesis is finished with functionality testing and evaluation of results.

This Master's thesis deals with modeling and simulation of BGP protocol within the OMNeT++ environment. The BGP protocol is described with employed data structures and the finite state machine of BGP peering. Next, the basic configuration is outlined involving the setup of the BGP protocol on Cisco devices. Further, BGP for OMNeT++ state-of-the-art is investigated together with its lack of functionality and issues. The second part of this thesis deals with design, implementation, and testing of the new functionality of BGP protocol and simulation models. The last section describes the overall achieved results.

Quality of service (QoS) is an important consideration in networking, but it is also a significant challenge. Providing QoS guarantees becomes even more challenging when you add the complexities to the network like voice and video applications. This master's thesis focuses on QoS modeling and simulation in discrete event simulation system OMNeT++. The implementation of multiple techniques for QoS simulation is added to OMNeT++ within this work. All implemented modules are validated against the QoS tools on real routers. The last part of the work presents the possibility of QoS simulation in newly implemented modules.

In der vorliegenden Bachelorarbeit soll ein Framework zur Umsetzung des Resourcebased Application Clustering Approach in die OMNeT++/INET Simulationsumgebung integriert werden. Der Ansatz verfolgt das Ziel, Anwendungen in einem verteilten Sensornetzwerk in einem Cluster geeigneter Knoten zu verteilen. Ausgewählt werden sollen diejenigen Knoten, die über die besten Ressourcen verfügen. Als Grundlage für die Integration dient eine Implementierung auf einem Mikrocontrollerbasierten Demonstrator. Dieses Framework wurde erfolgreich in die INET-Modellbibliothek integriert. Als Ergebnis entsteht außerdem ein Szenario, indem ein Netzwerk Anwendung durch das integrierte Framework verteilt. Die vorliegende Arbeit kann als Grundlage für die weitere Evaluierung des Resource-based Application Clustering Approach genutzt werden.

Wireless sensor networks have become a rapidly growing research field in recent years. They are envisioned to have a wide range of applications in military, environmental and many other fields. We examine the performance of wireless sensor network applications to aeronautical telemetry. To date, test ranges have relied on a single telemetry ground station for the reception of packets from all air borne transmitters. We researched an alternate means of achieving this same goal with fewer resources. It is a well known fact that communication power and bandwidth are the most expensive commodities in wireless communications. The telemetry world is ever in need of ways and means to reduce power requirements of its networks while maximizing the use of available bandwidth. In our alternate method, packets will be reliably transported to a centrally located monitoring station in a series of hops. We will effectively reduce the power requirements of the network by minimizing the distance coverage of the sensor nodes. We will also explore different network topologies with a view to maximizing the use of available bandwidth. The alternate method will present a less expensive way to implement telemetry networks. Currently, telemetry networks make use of a single, huge and expensive base station receiving packets from all airplanes in test. Affordable sensor nodes placed strategically on the range and configured properly will achieve the same goal in a cost effective, power saving and bandwidth considerate manner.

In this thesis, frame synchronization for iNET formatted SOQPSK-TG communications is considered. Frame synchronization for M-ary linear modulations (MQAM, MPSK, etc.) are known in the literature using pilot detection methods, but are based on a signal model that does not apply to SOQPSK-TG. Maximum likelihood frame synchronizers are derived for an SOQPSK-TG system following assumptions found in the literature. The analysis shows that a reinterpretation of known detectors operating on the samples of the received waveform and locally stored samples of the pilot is the optimum approach for this case. Simulation results for an AWGN channel and several multipath channels verify the performance of the synchronizers.
