Enhancement of the TCP module in the OMNeT++/INET framework

چکیده
The INET framework for the simulation tool OMNeT++ provides a TCP module, which can be used for evaluating various Internet applications. However, the implementation of this TCP module has not been state of the art. Some important features of modern TCP implementations – particularly Selective Acknowledgements (SACK) and a complete Flow Control – have been missing. In this paper, we first introduce basic TCP mechanisms. After that, we introduce the extensions we have made to the TCP module of INET. Finally, we show some results of our performance evaluation.

Integration of OMNeT++ Hybrid TDM/WDM-PON Models into INET Framework
It is critical to take into account both the interactive nature of actual traffic resulting from TCP congestion control and the end-user service experiences at the application layer in assessing the performances of next-generation optical access architectures. In this paper we present the results of our efforts to integrate OMNeT++-based hybrid time division multiplexing (TDM)/wavelength divisi...
متن کاملIntegration of the Packetdrill Testing Tool in INET
Google released in 2013 a script-based tool called packetdrill, which allows to test transport protocols like UDP and TCP on Linux and BSD-based operating systems. The scripts defining a test-case allow to inject packets to the implementation under test, perform operations at the API controlling the transport protocol and verify the sending of packets, all at specified times. This paper describ...
متن کاملExtending INET framework for directional and asymmetrical wireless communications
This paper reports our work on extending the OMNeT++ INET Framework with a directional radio model, putting a special emphasis on the implementation of asymmetrical communications. We first analyze the original INET radio model, focusing on its design and components. Then we discuss the modifications that have been done to support directional communications. Our preliminary results show that th...

Real-time extensions to standard switched Ethernet widen the realm of computer networking into the time-critical domain. These technologies have started to establish in process automation, while Ethernet-based communication infrastructures in vehicles are novel and challenged by particularly hard real-time constraints. Simulation tools are of vital importance to explore the technical feasibilit...
متن کاملHigh Frequency Radio Network Simulation Using OMNeT++
Harris Corporation has an interest in making HF radios a suitable medium for wireless information networks using standard Internet protocols. Although HF radio links have many unique characteristics, HF wireless subnets can be subject to many of the same traffic flow characteristics and topologies as existing line-of-sight (LOS) radio networks, giving rise to similar issues (media access, conne...
