INTERNET BASED EFFICIENT CONTENT DISTRIBUTION PROTOCOL FOR MANET

Torrent is one of the Internet's most efficient content distribution protocols. It is known to perform very well over the wired Internet where end-to-end performance is almost guaranteed. However, in wireless ad hoc networks many constraints appear as the scarcity of resources and their shared nature, which make running BitTorrent with its default configuration not lead to best performances. To these constraints it adds the fact that peers are both routers and end-users and that TCP-performance drops seriously with the number of hops. We show in this work that the neighbor selection mechanism in BitTorrent plays an important role in determining the performance of the protocol when deployed over a wireless ad hoc network. It is no longer efficient to choose and treat with peers independently of their location. A first solution is to limit the scope of the neighborhood. In this case, TCP connections are fast but there is no more diversity of pieces in the network: pieces propagate in a unique direction from the seed to distant peers. This prohibits peers from reciprocating data and leads to low sharing ratios and sub optimal utilization of network resources. To recover from these impairments, we propose an enhancement to torrent which aims to minimize the time to download the content and at the same time to enforce cooperation among peers. Our solution considers a restricted neighborhood to reduce routing overhead and to improve throughput, while establishing few connections to remote peers to improve diversity of pieces. With the help of extensive NS-2 simulations, we show that these enhancements to Torrent significantly improve the file completion time while fully profiting from the incentives implemented in Torrent to enforce fair sharing.

NS2 INSTALLATION IN UBUNTU 21.04

Hello, this post explains how to install ns2 in Ubuntu 21.04. 1) First you have to download ns2 all-in-one package from following link; http://sourceforge.net/projects/nsnam/files/allinone/ns-allinone-2.35/ns-allinone-2.35.tar.gz/download 2) Extract the downloaded zip file 'ns-allinone-2.35.tar.gz file' to home folder. 3) Now you need to download some essential packages for ns2,these packages can be downloaded by using the following commands : applications>accessories>terminal or dashhome>terminal and then type the below lines one by one on the terminal window sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade sudo apt-get update 4) Install the basic libraries; sudo apt install build-essential autoconf automake libxmu-dev 5) Install gcc and g++ and for that please do following; open the file using sudo mode sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list Include the following line in list; deb http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic main universe then open terminal and exec

Link State Routing Protocol

Link state routing is a method in which each router shares its neighborhood’s knowledge with every other router on the internetwork. In this algorithm, each router in the network understands the network topology and then makes a routing table depending on this topology. Each router will share data about its connection to its neighbor, who will, consecutively, reproduce the data to its neighbors, etc. This appears just before all routers have constructed a topology of the network. In LSP, each node transmits its IP address and the MAC to its neighbor with its signature. Neighbors determine the signature and maintain a record of the combining IP address and the MAC. The Neighbor Lookup Protocol (NLP) of LSP derives and maintains the MAC and IP address of every network frame accepted by a node. The extracted data can support the mapping of MACs and IP addresses. The link-state flooding algorithm prevents the general issues of broadcast in the existence of loops by having every node mainta

HP NETWORK SIMULATOR: A COMWARE OS LEARNING TOOL

Comware v7 is a network operating system that runs on HP high-end network devices. The HP Network Simulator is an ideal Comware v7 learning tool, which allows users to create, configure, and connect simulated networks. Benefits Beginners – The HP Network Simulator tool is helpful for users who are new to networking and want to learn how to configure network devices (switches, routers), various topologies, or different routing and switching protocols and features. Experienced users – The HP Network Simulator learning tool is helpful for users who have experience with non-HP networking devices and want to learn the Comware CLI and features. Extra devices – Users can create devices using the HP Network Simulator and use them with their physical devices to configure and test topologies that aren’t configurable with just the physical devices they have. For example – A user wants to configure OSPF using 3 or more devices but has only 1 physical router. User can create 2 or more routers
