2. Simulation program

2.1. Simulation

Fisrt simulation as been run without modem.

Line commands on PEP-right are described hereafter, note that commands for PEP-left are similar.

Step 1 Connexion in SSH to remote terminal.


ssh

Step 2 Connexion in PEP-right as super user


sudo su

  1. Definition of IP adresses of interfaces

    ifconfig p5p1 192.168.2.2
    ifconfig p6p1 192.168.3.1
On user interface. In our case
  1. Addition of space delay to user interface (p5p1)

    tc qdisc add dev p5p1 root netem delay 600ms
  1. Test connection and delay from 192.168.2.1 to 192.168.3.1

    ping 192.168.3.1 -I 192.168.2.1
  1. Implementation of routing rules in order to use PEPSal. Indeed PEPSal uses port 5000, consequently TCP flow must be redirected on this port.

    iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -s 192.168.2.1 --proto tcp --tcp-flags ALL SYN -j QUEUE
    iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -s 192.168.2.1 --proto tcp -j REDIRECT --to-port 5000
    iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -d 192.168.3.1 --proto tcp --tcp-flags ALL SYN -j QUEUE
    iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d 192.168.3.1 --proto tcp -j REDIRECT --to-port 5000

Display all rules to verify

iptables -t mangle -t nat -L

  1. Execution of PEPSal on port

    pepsal -a 192.168.2.1

Then a TCP flow is simulated thanks to the iperf command.

2.2. Post processing

In order to get information on TCP packets, the tcpdump commmand is executed. The save option is run and data are collected in a file.pcap.
Command is:
tcpdump tcp -w fileName.pcap

  1. Files transfert from PC engine right to local computer
    scp :Proj3/*.
The file generated by tcpdump command is compatibile with wireshark. Wireshark is a free network protocol analyzer. It lets you see what's happening on your network at a microscopic level. Thanks to this tool, we could compare with and without PEPSal:
  • throughput,
  • sequence number packets,
  • windows size evolution.

Tests in terms of quality of usage, such as download a web browser, were planed. However due to difficulties in network configuration, those tests will not be run.
