Performance Evaluation of Gauss-Markov Mobility Model in Hybrid LTE-VANET Networks

Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET) developed based on mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET). VANET have different characteristics than MANET, on VANET mobile node (MN) moves faster, topology changes dynamically. The previous research shows that the model of mobility affects to the network performance. In this paper, the Gauss-Markov mobility model used to illustrate the motion of the MN, which illustrates changes of acceleration, speed, location, and direction at any time. This paper enriches the evaluation of the performance of Gauss-Markov mobility model on LTE-VANET hybrid network, by evaluating various network performance metrics, particularly, packet delivery ratio (PDR), throughput, and delay. This research evaluated the Gauss-Markov mobility model and performed with the number of nodes and randomness index (α) that varies by utilizing NS-3 software. The results show that there is a strong correlation between PDR, throughput, and delay with the addition number of MNs. Based on the simulation result, the hybrid LTE-VANET produce better delay compared to pure VANET. The average delay is smaller 40% compared to pure VANET. This simulation also concludes that different value of alpha on Gauss-Markov mobility model does not influence PDR, throughput, and delay

Performance Analysis Of Firewall As Virtualized Network Function On VMware ESXi Hypervisor

Virtualization technology is slowly being used to build network infrastructure called Network Function Virtualization (NFV). It takes network functions such as firewall, load balancer, IPS out of its hardware then uses its software to be run on high specification server. It helps to reduce vendor lock-in and creates a multiplatform network function environment for telecommunication or Internet Service Provider (ISP) company. It has a lot of benefits compared to a traditional network. One of them is reducing the number of hardware that is used in the telecom industry. This technology runs on the hypervisor that is used for the hardware management. One of the important components from NFV is Virtualized Network Function (VNF). In NFV, network devices are run on a server so that a firewall is needed. If an attack occurs on the network, it will interfere the existing network components. This paper focuses on analyzing the performance of two firewall systems: pfSense, and FortiGate. Both firewalls run on the VMware ESXi hypervisor. It compares the firewall performance in normal conditions without attacks and under SYN DoS attacks. Besides, firewall failover capabilities are evaluated. Based on the overall testing results, FortiGate has better performance than pfSense. It has better ability in handling DoS SYN attack because of lower throughput performance degradation and better FTP performance. It is concluded that FortiGate has best performance if it is compared to pfSense.Virtualization technology is slowly being used to build network infrastructure called Network Function Virtualization (NFV).

A New Variant of Game Theory Based Decision Making (GTDM) Algorithm Routing Protocols to Improve Energy Efficiency on Vehicular Delay Tolerant Network (VDTN)

These days, the application of Delay Tolerant Networks (DTN) have been expanded into various scenarios of communications field. Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) as a communication scenario which treat its subject to disruption and disconnection with frequent partitioning and high latency. Therefore, Vehicular Delay Tolerant Network (VDTN) is introduced as a new research paradigm due to several characteristics match according to specific prerequisites. DTNs is proposed in Vehicular Network because its mechanisms which is using store-carry-forward, can be implemented to deliver the packets, without end-to-end connection, to the destination. One of challenging research of DTN in routing protocol is to meet prerequisites of many applications, especially in vehicular network (VDTN).  This paper presents a new variant of Game Theory based on Decision Making (GTDM) that can deliver packet to static node due to improve the energy efficiency of DTNs in city environments. Hence, its destination node (Receiver Node) needs to go to the static node to take their packet under Working Day Movement (WDM), because relay node will be passing by the static node with continuously move to its track to deliver packet. In this paper author will analyze the new variant of GTDM (NVGTDM) which can be more useful than original GTDM for application in city environment with using transportation movement. We conclude that modification of GTDM routing algorithm (NVGTDM) improves energy efficiency as much as 10.38% than the original GTDM. Hence, it can be ensured to compare either to Epidemic or PRoPHET routing algorithm with 55.44% and 68.75% in rates of energy efficiency respectively
