SOFTWARE DEFINED CUSTOMIZATION OF NETWORK PROTOCOLS WITH LAYER 4.5
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2022-09)
The rise of software defined networks, programmable data planes, and host level kernel programmability gives rise to highly specialized enterprise networks. One form of network specialization is protocol customization, ...
UNMANNED OCEAN LOGISTICS VESSEL-BASED DISRUPTION-TOLERANT NETWORK
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2020-09)
Network connectivity is sparse in the marine environment where there is a lack of wireless infrastructure. The mobility of ships, along with fluctuating sea surfaces, makes maintaining end-to-end connectivity between ships ...
A CASE FOR SOFTWARE-DEFINED NETWORKING IN THE UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS: AUTOMATING DISTRIBUTED FIREWALLS
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2019-06)
Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a field in computer science that has seen rapid adoption in industry and academia. SDN reduces network administration and cost, empowers fine grain network control, and enables ...
AN IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS OF A MACHINE-LEARNING-BASED NETWORK ROUTING PROTOCOL FOR NETWORKING IN A HIGHLY MOBILE TOPOLOGY
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2018-12)
This thesis studies the performance of a machine-learning-based DTN routing protocol, QGeo. QGeo is based on the reinforcement learning model called Q-learning whereby an agent in some context takes an action, gains a ...
AN EVALUATION OF USING DETERMINISTIC HEURISTICS TO ACCELERATE REINFORCEMENT LEARNING
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2018-12)
Neural networks frequently face long training times based on the corpus of data available to them. Reinforcement learning in particular can take a long time to attain satisfactory performance. Recent efforts to incorporate ...
GAPR2: a DTN routing protocol for communications in challenged, degraded, and denied environments
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2015-09)
This thesis explores the foundation of modern Disruption Tolerant Protocols. It introduces a previously unpublished protocol with high probability of delivery called the Geolocation Assisted Predictive Routing (GAPR) ...
Application transparent HTTP over a disruption tolerant Smart-Net
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2014-09)
This research explores methods to increase the performance of HTTP traffic when operating on a network that is prone to disrup-tions. The SmartNet architecture is presented as an open and extensible software framework for ...
THE VIABILITY OF A DTN SYSTEM FOR CURRENT MILITARY APPLICATION
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2013-03)
With DTN technology in development we see the DARPA Disruption-Tolerant Networking program and the DTN Research Group making significant strides toward disruption-tolerant network infrastructure. Mobile ad-hoc networks are ...
