“…We intend to emulate a wider range of network challenges and attacks, and perform a thorough assessment of network reconfigurations using management patterns. We also intend to work on the integration of the PReSET [2] toolset for resilience simulation with an OMNeT++ implementation of OpenFlow [30]. We expect to be able to evaluate policy-based resilience strategies based on OpenFlow reconfigurations also using the simulation environment.…”

Software-defined networking provides abstractions and a flexible architecture for the easy configuration of network devices, based on the decoupling of the data and control planes. This separation has the potential to considerably simplify the implementation of resilience functionality (e.g., traffic classification, anomaly detection, traffic shaping) in future networks. Although software-defined networking in general, and OpenFlow as its primary realisation, provide such abstractions, support is still needed for orchestrating a collection of OpenFlow-enabled services that must cooperate to implement network-wide resilience. In this paper, we describe a resilience management framework that can be readily applied to this problem. An important part of the framework are policy-controlled management patterns that describe how to orchestrate individual resilience services, implemented as OpenFlow applications.

“…Klein and Jarschel [30] have implemented OMNeT++ modules for OpenFlow, including modules that model an OpenFlow switch, controller and a number of simple applications, such as a hub and a switch. Integration of these modules into the PReSET tool can be readily achieved.…”

“…Recently, INET Framework has a new extension for OpenFlow model, which is a new toolbox for the simulation environment. This OpenFlow extension is still in the early development for INET Framework, currently based on switch specification version 1.2 [8]. It is also useful to explore the behaviour of these protocol models, capabilities and shortcomings further, by making use of simulations.…”

“…Moreover, to calculate the propagation speed of fiberoptic is by dividing the speed of light by the refractive index of fiberoptic. On other words, the propagation speed of fiberoptic is equal to two third of speed of light, if we use the typical refractive index of fiberoptic on air which is 1.5 [8].…”

Software-defined networking (SDN) is a relatively advanced method for implementing communication networks. SDN separates the decision maker, called the control plane, which decides where packets are sent, from the underlying infrastructure, called the data plane, which forwards packets to the decided destination. A newly emerging standard for SDN is the OpenFlow standard, which includes a standardized protocol for communications between the control plane and the data plane. This study analyses the extent to which the location of OpenFlow controllers affect the performance of an OpenFlow network. The analysis is undertaken using the OMNeT++ INET Framework discrete events network simulator. By analyzing key network metrics including round-trip-time (RTT) and data transfer rate (DTR), the results indicate the location of the controller has a demonstrable affect the performance of the network.

This chapter presents SEA++, a simulation framework that extends OM-NeT++/INET for evaluating the impact of security attacks on networks and applications in a flexible and user-friendly way. To this end, SEA++ relies on two fundamental building blocks. First, the user describes the attacks to be evaluated by using a high-level Attack Specification Language (ASL). In particular, only the final effects of such attacks are described, rather than their actual performance. Second, the Attack Simulation Engine (ASE) takes these high-level descriptions as input and accordingly injects attack events at runtime, by means of additional software modules that seamlessly and transparently operate with the other INET modules. This allows the user to quantitatively assess the impact of cyber/physical attacks in simulated network scenarios, and hence rank them according to their severity as a support to risk assessment and selection of countermeasures. As a further advantage, the user is not required to alter any software module or application, or to implement any adversary model for the actual execution of security attacks. Finally, this chapter also includes a step-by-step explicative example showing how to setup and use SEA++ for describing attacks and assessing their impact.
