Recently, the interest in optical network with multifiber link is continuing to rise since the network traffic has been growing exponentially. However, growing traffic in network leads to increasing the energy consumption of the network equipment. In this paper, we propose a dynamic routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) algorithm based on V-like cost function and layered graph to improve energy efficiency in IP over WDM network with multifiber link. The V-like cost function is used to decide the fiber cost according to the number of used wavelengths. The layered graph with multifiber link is used to select the energy efficient route and wavelength. The proposed RWA algorithm is compared and analyzed with conventional algorithm in view of average power consumption and blocking probability through OPNET modeler.

As a demand of IP based packet service is increasing, transport network is evolving from circuit based transport technology using TDM to Ethernet based packet transport technology. In this paper we introduce packet transport network based on PBB-TE and MPLS-TP and propose a quality of service(QoS) management scheme to satisfy various user requirements in packet transport network. The proposed flow-based QoS management scheme guarantees that per-flow bandwidth control satisfies the predefined QoS requirement perfectly under bandwidth congestion condition by using perflow and per-PTL tunnel management. In order to evaluate the proposed scheme we defined flow and PTL tunnel per input frame and configured QoS parameters for each flow and PTL tunnel respectively. Simulation was done by using OPNET modeler 16.0 version.

In this paper, we propose a transmission power control scheme for performance improvement of VANET using STPC algorithm considering traffic-flow model. In traffic congestion, a transmission power between car and car increases the collision probability of control messages, which causes the problems to decrease the performance of VANET. The proposed scheme is evaluated by OPNet modeler 16.0 for analyzing its performance and effectiveness in terms of end-to-end delays in hops, packet success probability, and throughput. The simulation result show that the proposed scheme reduces a delay in hops and increases high packet transmission success ratio. Furthermore, a throughput under high density traffic is improved effectively.

In this paper we simulate the capacity of VOIP calls through WiFi network by computer simulations using OPNET modeler. The results show that sudden quality degradations occur on all VoIP calls when the number of call of an AP(Access Point) increases beyond a specific value. The reason of the quality degradation was turned out to be the queueing delay at the down link of AP. Under the IEEE 802.11b environments, the maximum number of VoIP calls of an AP maintaining the required voice quality (MOS > 2.5), was evaluated as 5, 12, and 27 when we use G.711, G.729a, and G.729a VAD codec, respectively.

As wind power farm (WPF) installations continue to grow, monitoring and controlling large-scale WPFs presents new challenges. In this paper, a hierarchical network architecture is proposed in order to provide remote monitoring and control of large-scale WPFs. The network architecture consists of three levels, including the WPF comprised of wind turbines and meteorological towers, local control center (LCC) responsible for remote monitoring and control of wind turbines, and a central control center (CCC) that offers data collection and aggregation of many WPFs. Different scenarios are considered in order to evaluate the performance of the WPF communications network with its hierarchical architecture. The communications network within the WPF is regarded as the local area network (LAN) while the communication among the LCCs and the CCC happens through a wide area network (WAN). We develop a communications network model based on an OPNET modeler, and the network performance is evaluated with respect to the link bandwidth and the end-to-end delay measured for various applications. As a result, this work contributes to the design of communications networks for large-scale WPFs.

This paper proposes a reliability enhancement of industrial real-time Ethernet using master redundancy method for NPPs(Nuclear Power Plants). In this paper, Ethernet Powerlink is investigated for distributed control systems for NPPs considering real-time and reliability performance. The proposed method can reduce a master switch-over time using PReq signal when Ethernet Powerlink master(Managing Node) failure was occurred. Using the OPNET simulation results, the performance enhancement of master switch-over time of Ethernet Powerlink is verified for NPPs.

Recently, the threat of DDoS attacks is increasing and many companies are planned to deploy the DDoS defense solutions in their networks. The DDoS attack usually transmits heavy traffic data to networks or servers and they cannot handle the normal service requests because of running out of resources. Since it is very hard to prevent the DDoS attack beforehand, the strategic plan is very important. In this work, we have conducted modeling and simulation of the DDoS attack by changing the number of servers and estimated the duration that services are available. In this work, the modeling and simulation is conducted using OPNET Modeler. The simulation result can be used as a parameter of trade-off analysis of DDoS defense cost and the service's value. In addition, we have presented a way of estimating the cost effectiveness in deployment of the DDoS defense system.

거리에 제약을 받는 무선 LAN에 대비하여 최근에는 WiBro 통신망이 제시되고 있고, 앞으로는 이들 통신망이 공존할 것으로 예상된다. 이를 위해, 본 논문에서는 무선 LAN과 WiBro 통신망과의 연동 구조 핀 핸드오프 절차를 제시하였다. 또한, OPNET Modeler 9.0을 사용하여 제시된 핸드오프 절차를 구현하였으며, 핸드오프 시 TCP와 UDP에 대해 기능 테스트를 수행하였다. 테스트 결과 핸드오프가 일어나더라도 원활한 통신이 가능함을 보여주었다.

In this study, a non-preemptive M/G/1 queueing model of a spectrum handoff scheme for cognitive wireless networks is proposed. Because spectrum handoff gives secondary users an opportunity to carry on their transmissions, it is crucially important to determine the actions of primary users. In our queueing model, prioritized data traffic is utilized to meet the requirements of the secondary users. These users' packets are categorized into three different priority classes: urgent, real-time, and non-real time. Urgent data packets have the highest priority, while non-real time data packets have the lowest priority. Riverbed (OPNET) Modeler simulation software was used to simulate both reactive and proactive decision spectrum handoff schemes. The simulation results were consistent with the analytical results obtained under different load and traffic conditions. This study also revealed that the cumulative number of handoffs can be drastically decreased by exploiting priority classes and utilizing a decent spectrum handoff strategy, such as a reactive or proactive decision-based strategy.

본 논문에서는 OBS 망의 에지 라우터에서 소비되는 에너지를 절감하기 위한 통제 기반 동적 버스트 어셈블 알고리즘 (Constraint based Dynamic Burst Assemble algorithm : CDBA) 을 제안한다. 기존의 버스트 어셈블 알고리즘은 망의 성능 및 QoS (Quality of Service) 만을 고려한 고정된 버스트 어셈블 임계값을 사용하였으나 제시한 알고리즘은 에지 라우터에서 발생하는 에너지 소비율을 감소시키면서도 버스트 길이 및 패킷 지연과 같은 지표를 일정 수준이내로 유지함으로써 망의 성능을 보장한다. 제시한 알고리즘 평가를 위해 OPNET Modeler 를 사용하여 시뮬레이션을 수행하였으며, 에너지 절감율 및 패킷 지연 시간 관점에서 기존의 버스트 어셈블 알고리즘과 성능을 비교, 분석하였다.
