Una herramienta de gestión de redes virtuales
154 páginas. Maestría en Ciencias de la Computación.En el trabajo de tesis se desarrolla una Herramienta de Gestión de Redes Virtuales con el fin de monitorear, configurar/reconfigurar VLAN’s, consta de varios módulos tales como: SNMP GET, SNMP SET, SNMP GETNEXT, MONITOREO, SNMP visualizador y estadísticas de red. La herramienta es gratuita y de libre uso por parte de la comunidad de redes versus las herramientas propias de cada proveedor de VLAN, que valen de cientos a miles de pesos. Los módulos de la herramienta de Gestión de Redes Virtuales pueden trabajar de forma local o remota, a través de la pila de protocolos TCP/IP (Transfer Control Protocol/Internet Protocol). El protocolo que se emplea para acceder a las bases de datos de configuración de los equipos o nodos, es el protocolo de administración simple de red, basado en UDP (User Datagram Protocol), SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), los puertos en uso son el 160 y 161 que son los que permiten el envío y recepción de información entre la estación de administración y la estación administrada. Para analizar la red: a) se capturan los paquetes de datos; b) se desencapsula el paquete en los elementos de interés para el análisis de red y finalmente se presenta la información en pantalla, por lo que es posible capturar: Paquetes, cuyo origen o destino sea un host determinado. Paquetes, cuya dirección origen o destino corresponda a una red determinada. Paquetes, cuyo puerto de origen sea algún número de puerto. Paquetes, TCP, UDP y los puertos correspondientes. Paquetes, cuya dirección destino corresponda a una red determinada. Cualquier combinación de los anteriores. El desarrollo modular de la herramienta permite que la integración de nuevos módulos, que brinda nuevas funcionalidades, sea flexible sin afectar a los que ya están en función, por mencionar un ejemplo: El módulo de seguridad SSH (Security Shell) y el módulo de Cortafuegos, para la seguridad de la información que se extrae de los equipos y del análisis de red. Información adicional acerca del detalle de la herramienta de gestión de redes virtuales se encuentra en el desarrollo capitular de la tesis.The thesis to provide a tool for monitoring, configuration or reconfiguration of VLANs through software. The tool has several modules, such as: SNMP GET, SNMP SET, SNMP GETNEXT, MONITOR, SNMP VIEWER and NETSTATISTICS. The porpuse was made a tool free, because each vendor has developed its own proprietary VLAN product. The parts of the tool, modules, work in local and remote environments. Tha tool use the TCP/IP and UDP protocols for analizing traffic statistics of the network. There is a protocol called SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), the protocol is used to manage, monitor and configurate nodes in local or remote form. The protocol use the ports 160 and 161 to communicate information about nodes confgurations. For analizing the network the tool capture frames and dispaly information about network performance, the tool provide filtering, security and traffic flow management, for example: a) Capture frames about a particular node. b) Capture frames about a particular network. c) Capture frames with a particular evaluation criteria. d) Whatever criteria. The tool can enhance modular scalability, security, and network management without problem. The modular architecture permit to increase modules for security, for example a firewall or SSH protocol, so, the information from nodes will be protected. Therefore, the tool is flexible due to simplify task when additions, moves or changes to the architecture are necessary. Additional Information is given in the structure of the thesis which is divided in several chapters
Implementation of a wireless sensor network for agricultural monitoring for Internet of Things (IoT)
The agricultural sector is the first industry and the most impacted by the climate changes. The delicate environment that must manage some type of crops require d the constant monitoring and maintenance of the greenhouse. The Internet of Things (IoT) gives a new alternative for real time environmental monitoring of variables such as temperature, humidity and solar irradiation that can contribute for the health y growth of the crop , and also impact for the plagu es and sickness presence . The objective of this thesis is built a Wireless S ensor N etwork using radiofrequency devices and environmental sensor s . The limitation s of this master thesis are: the location of the sensor node , the external conditions that wi ll not impact the network, the simulation, test and pilots that are deployed in a controlled space . The wireless sensor network proposed employ s the Zolertia Motes using IEEE802.15.4 standard . This device allows low power consumption , as the nodes must be located in places where it may handle several week s without change depending on the autonomy of the ir batteries cell . The network protocol manage d works over l ow consumption , as same as the transmitted and received packets of data . T he standard used on this project is the 6LowPAN . T he network co nfigured works over the stack protocol IPv6 so that all the devices handled UDP and manage this internet package. The Raspberry Pi 3 B will work as border router between the sensor nodes and the exterior consider ed as Internet using the IPv4 standard internet router protocol. The framework used for the network implementation is ContikiOS installed on th e gateway and tested using one mote located in the la b . The data manage d in this experiment has low data rate as this measurement do not require a permanent monitoring and high speed . T he atmospherically changes are not variant enough to be observe d constantly . The sample rate will be 1 package each 10 minutes. This project aim s to develop a full network implementa tion since the mote until the dashboard

Pro Web 2.0 Mashups: Remixing Data and Web Services
XXXIII, 603 p. ; 24 cmLibro ElectrónicoEn cub.: Remix the Web to create cutting-edge web applicationsHow many times have you seen a web site and said, “This would be exactly what I wanted—
if only . . .” If only you could combine the statistics here with data from your company’s earnings
projections. If only you could take the addresses for those restaurants and plot them on one
map. How often have you entered the date of a concert into your calendar with a single click
instead of retyping? How often do you wish that you could make all the different parts of your
digital world—your e-mail, your word processor documents, your photos, your search results,
your maps, your presentations—work together more seamlessly? After all, it’s all digital and
malleable information—shouldn’t it all just fit together?
In fact, below the surface, all the data, web sites, and applications you use could fit together.
This book teaches you how to forge those latent connections—to make the Web your own—by
remixing information to create your own mashups. A mashup, in the words of the Wikipedia, is
a web site or web application “that seamlessly combines content from more than one source
into an integrated experience.”1 Learning how to draw content from the Web together into new
integrated interfaces and applications, whether for yourself or for other others, is the central
concern of this book.¿Cuántas veces ha visto usted a un sitio web y le dijo: "Esto sería exactamente lo que quería-
si sólo. . . "Si sólo pudiera combinar las estadísticas aquí con los datos de las ganancias de su empresa
proyecciones. Si tan sólo pudiera tener las direcciones de los restaurantes y colócalas en una
mapa. ¿Cuántas veces has entrado en la fecha de un concierto en su calendario con un solo clic
en lugar de volver a escribir? ¿Con qué frecuencia desea que usted podría hacer todas las diferentes partes de su
mundo digital, el correo electrónico, los documentos procesador de textos, fotos, resultados de la búsqueda,
sus mapas, sus presentaciones, trabajar juntos con mayor perfección? Después de todo, todo es digital y
maleable que la información shouldn't a sólo encajan entre sí?
De hecho, debajo de la superficie, todos los datos, sitios web, y aplicaciones que utiliza podría encajar.
Este libro te enseña a forjar esas conexiones latentes a hacer de la web su propio por
información remezcla para crear su propia mashups. Un mashup, en palabras de la Wikipedia, es
un sitio web o aplicación web "que combina a la perfección el contenido de más de una fuente
en una experiencia integrada. "1 Aprender a dibujar el contenido de la Web junto a nuevos
interfaces integradas y aplicaciones, ya sea para usted o para otros, es el centro de
preocupación de este libro.The modern Web is awash with data and services just waiting to be used, but how do you make effective use of all this information? The answer lies in APIs (such as Google Maps, Flickr, and Amazon Web Services) and remixing, or mashups. "Pro Web 2.0 Mashups: Remixing Data and Web Services" teaches you everything you need to create useful, dynamic real-world applications using APIs, web services, Ajax, web standards, and server-side languages. All you need to make full use of this book is basic knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and at least one server-side language (such as PHP or ASP.NET). Highlights include the following: Looks at the overall shape of todays Web from a developers point of view--what are its main features, and what is available for us to use to develop applications? Contains real-world examples of creating mashups using all the major APIs. Contains examples written in multiple server-side languages. What you'll learn Understand how the constituent parts of the modern Web fit together--web standards, Ajax, APIs, libraries, tagging, blogs, wikis, and more. Create different types of mashup, for example mapping mashups, search functionality, calendars, RSS/Atom feeds, social bookmarking, online storage systems, open document formats, and more. Build Web 2.0 applications using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Ajax, server-side languages, APIs, and libraries Who is this book for?
