Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Analysis on Virtual Network and Real Network Traffic
Data communication, computers and computer networks increase the needs and facilitation offered by a variety of server services that are owned by individuals and companies. Servers are the core of continuous communication on the internet and the main factor in the life, development and death of individual businesses or companies that rely on the internet. The other side is also developing rapidly targeting server attacks from starting to weaken performance to crippled, the most popular in the hacker world, namely attacks by bombarding servers with many requests from one computer or more, with one machine to thousands of machines. This study implements several DDoS attack techniques targeted at virtual servers and real servers to determine the type of protocol used and its accuracy and reliability. The research method uses the concept of Robert Maribe Branch (2009) or ADDIE which consists of Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation with the results of successful attacks on the HTTP header on the virtual network and on the real network 85.68%, while the TCP has an accuracy value. 87.75% and the real network produces 90.02%. In addition, the attack using the ping of death on the virtual server was successfully carried out and the real server had an accuracy value of 41.45% so that the attack on the TCP protocol was declared very effective in crippling the target PC or server.Â
When Should I Use Network Emulation?
The design and development of a complex system requires an adequate
methodology and efficient instrumental support in order to early detect and
correct anomalies in the functional and non-functional properties of the tested
protocols. Among the various tools used to provide experimental support for
such developments, network emulation relies on real-time production of
impairments on real traffic according to a communication model, either
realistically or not.
This paper aims at simply presenting to newcomers in network emulation
(students, engineers, ...) basic principles and practices illustrated with a
few commonly used tools. The motivation behind is to fill a gap in terms of
introductory and pragmatic papers in this domain.
The study particularly considers centralized approaches, allowing cheap and
easy implementation in the context of research labs or industrial developments.
In addition, an architectural model for emulation systems is proposed, defining
three complementary levels, namely hardware, impairment and model levels. With
the help of this architectural framework, various existing tools are situated
and described. Various approaches for modeling the emulation actions are
studied, such as impairment-based scenarios and virtual architectures,
real-time discrete simulation and trace-based systems. Those modeling
approaches are described and compared in terms of services and we study their
ability to respond to various designer needs to assess when emulation is
needed

The Role of Structural Reflection in Distributed Virtual Reality
The emergence of collaborative virtual world applications that run over the Internet has presented Virtual Reality (VR) application designers with new challenges. In an environment where the public internet streams multimedia data and is constantly under pressure to deliver over widely heterogeneous user-platforms, there has been a growing need that distributed virtual world applications be aware of and adapt to frequent variations in their context of execution. In this paper, we argue that in contrast to research efforts targeted at improvement of scalability, persistence and responsiveness capabilities, much less attempts have been aimed at addressing the flexibility, maintainability and extensibility requirements in contemporary Distributed VR applications. We propose the use of structural reflection as an approach that not only addresses these requirements but also offers added value in the form of providing a framework for scalability, persistence and responsiveness that is itself flexible, maintainable and extensible
Analysis domain model for shared virtual environments
The field of shared virtual environments, which also
encompasses online games and social 3D environments, has a
system landscape consisting of multiple solutions that share great functional overlap. However, there is little system interoperability between the different solutions. A shared virtual environment has an associated problem domain that is highly complex raising difficult challenges to the development process, starting with the architectural design of the underlying system. This paper has two main contributions. The first contribution is a broad domain analysis of shared virtual environments, which enables developers to have a better understanding of the whole rather than the part(s). The second contribution is a reference domain model for discussing and describing solutions - the Analysis Domain Model
Recursive internetwork architecture, investigating RINA as an alternative to TCP/IP (IRATI)
Driven by the requirements of the emerging applications and networks, the Internet has become an architectural patchwork of growing complexity which strains to cope with the changes. Mooreâs law prevented us from recognising that the problem does not hide in the high demands of todayâs applications but lies in the flaws of the Internetâs original design. The Internet needs to move beyond TCP/IP to prosper in the long term, TCP/IP has outlived its usefulness.
The Recursive InterNetwork Architecture (RINA) is a new Internetwork architecture whose fundamental principle is that networking is only interprocess communication (IPC). RINA reconstructs the overall structure of the Internet, forming a model that comprises a single repeating layer, the DIF (Distributed IPC Facility), which is the minimal set of components required to allow distributed IPC between application processes. RINA supports inherently and without the need of extra mechanisms mobility, multi-homing and Quality of Service, provides a secure and configurable environment, motivates for a more competitive marketplace and allows for a seamless adoption.
RINA is the best choice for the next generation networks due to its sound theory, simplicity and the features it enables. IRATIâs goal is to achieve further exploration of this new architecture. IRATI will advance the state of the art of RINA towards an architecture reference model and specifcations that are closer to enable implementations deployable in production scenarios.
The design and implemention of a RINA prototype on top of Ethernet will permit the experimentation and evaluation of RINA in comparison to TCP/IP. IRATI will use the OFELIA testbed to carry on its experimental activities. Both projects will benefit from the collaboration. IRATI will gain access to a large-scale testbed with a controlled network while OFELIA will get a unique use-case to validate the facility: experimentation of a non-IP based Internet
