Description
The objective of this thesis is prototyping the GIST Overlay Network Extension (GONE) including performance testing, in collaboration with the University of Cambridge. GONE is an overlay network built upon the General Internet Signaling Transport (GIST) and the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP). GIST enables GONE to automatically build an overlay along a path in an IP-network with GONE-aware routers. Each GONE-aware hop forwards traffic to the next hop via an SCTP connection, making GONE resilient to path failures due to SCTP’s failover mechanism. Protection against DoS-attacks is employed by using a per-packet capability based authentication. |
