Internet Protocol (Ip) Over Link-16, Clinton W. Stinson
Internet Protocol (Ip) Over Link-16, Clinton W. Stinson
Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of Link- 16 is to exchange real-time tactical data among units of the United States and allied forces. Primary Link- 16 functions include exchange of friendly unit position and status data, fl%the dissemination of tactical surveillance track data, and the control/management of air, surface, and subsurface engagements. Because Link- 16 will play an integral role in fl% network-centric Joint Battlespace Infosphere (JBI), the performance of Internet Protocol version six (IPv6) and IP Security (IPSec) over Link-16 needs to be determined. Using OPNET modeling software to simulate a Link- 16 network, the investigation of this research revealed that the …
Performance Analysis Of Protocol Independent Multicasting-Dense Mode In Low Earth Orbit Satellite Networks, Mark D. Saeger
Performance Analysis Of Protocol Independent Multicasting-Dense Mode In Low Earth Orbit Satellite Networks, Mark D. Saeger
Theses and Dissertations
This research explored the implementation of Protocol Independent Multicasting - Dense Mode (PIM-DM) in a LEO satellite constellation. PIM-DM is a terrestrial protocol for distributing traffic efficiently between subscriber nodes by combining data streams into a tree-based structure, spreading from the root of the tree to the branches. Using this structure, a minimum number of connections are required to transfer data, decreasing the load on intermediate satellite routers. The PIM-DM protocol was developed for terrestrial systems and this research implemented an adaptation of this protocol in a satellite system. This research examined the PIM-DM performance characteristics which were compared to …
