Applications and Protocols
Truong, Lap V. ORGANIZER: Brehove, Richard
This session features some unique ideas on various topics in the area of Applications and Protocols. This session includes posters that address optimizing OSPF, QoS for wireless nets, interference resistant receivers, defense against DDoS attacks, and evaluation of HF applications. Authors will be available to discuss the implications of their work on current future programs. The presentations will discuss the value of IPV6 to the GIG, a method of using Instant Messaging to create an IP Tunnel, geolocation using terrestrial transmitters in a theater environment where GPS is unreliable, a strategy for using wireless relays in a power-constrained environment, testing of application-aware network devices under real-world conditions, a low cost solution of automating command post operations, and finally using commercial satellite applications to obtain real-time situational awareness data in battlefield or disaster response environments.
