Abstract

In order to efficiently use defined satellite network resources, it is a priority to understand the performance and usage of the network. In this paper, in order to analyze the operational efficiency and stability of the system in the satellite communication system operated by K-water flood forecast and alarm network, FTP and ping testing and network traffic analysis methods of measuring download and upload speed between central and observational countries were introduced. As a result of measuring the transmission speed by the introduced test method, the effects of TCP accelerators have been improved by 120% upon download from the observational station. Through the performance test and traffic analysis of the satellite hydrologic observation system introduced, environmental improvement and improvement points of the satellite communication system were derived so that the operational efficiency and stability of the communication network could be expected.

한정된 위성통신망 자원을 효율적으로 사용하기 위해서는 통신망에 대한 성능과 사용량을 파악하는 것이 우선이다. 본 논문에서는 K-water 홍수예보 경보망으로 운영 중인 위성통신시스템에서 시스템의 운영 효율성과 안정성을 분석하기 위하여, 중심국과 관측국간에 다운로드 및 업로드의 속도를 측정하는 FTP 및 핑 시험과 네트워크 트래픽 분석 방법을 도입하였다. 도입한 시험방법에 의한 전송속도를 측정한 결과, TCP 가속기의 영향은 관측국에서 다운로드시 120% 속도 향상이 되었으며, 데이터의 크기에 따른 차이가 발생하였고, 트래픽 분석에서는 네트워크상에 접속되는 프로토콜 종류와 사용량을 파악하였다. 도입한 위성수문관측시스템의 성능 시험 및 트래픽 분석을 통하여 위성통신시스템의 환경보완 및 개선점을 도출하여 통신망의 운영 효율성과 안정성 향상을 기대할 수 있도록 하였다.
