One of today’s most popular multimedia applications that needs more investigation and optimization is Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). Simulation tools are essential to test existing network technologies and develop new ones. They are effectively used for network analysis and solving design and optimization problems. The focus of this thesis is an extensive simulation study to evaluate the achieved Quality of Service (QoS) support by VoIP traffic under different network topologies, traffic profiles, codecs and queuing mechanisms. To this end, firstly we performed a comparative evaluation of network simulators. Accordingly, we selected ns-2 as our simulation tool because of its wide library of network components and traffic types and its open source facilities. Next, we defined a number of different scenarios guided by previous works in the literature. We conducted a set of simulation experiments with ns-2 and evaluated the VoIP performance parameters such as delay, jitter and packet loss ratio under these scenarios. s.

Improving performance of network intrusion detection systems through concurrent mechanisms
Atakan, Mustafa; Şener, Cevat; Department of Computer Engineering (2003)
As the bandwidth of present networks gets larger than the past, the demand of Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) that function in real time becomes the major requirement for high-speed networks. If these systems are not fast enough to process all network traffic passing, some malicious security violations may take role using this drawback. In order to make that kind of applications schedulable, some concurrency mechanism is introduced to the general flowchart of their algorithm. The principal aim is...
Design and development of an internet telephony test device
Çelikadam, Turgut; Ergül, Faruk Rüyal; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2003)
The issues involved in Internet telephony (Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) device) can be best understood by actually implementing a VoIP device and studying its performance. In this regard, an Internet telephony device, providing full duplex voice communication over internet, and a user interface program have been developed. In the process, a number of implementation issues came into focus, which we have touched upon in this thesis. Transport layer network protocols are discussed in the concept of real...

The fifth generation of telecommunication networks comes with various use cases such as Enhanced Mobile Broadband, Ultra-Reliable and Low Latency Communications and Massive Machine Type Communications. These different types of communications have diverse requirements that need to be satisfied while they utilize the same physical infrastructure. By leveraging Software Defined Network (SDN) and Virtual Network Function (VNF) technologies, the 5G network slicing concept can provide end-to-end logical networks ...
ARC: The analytical rate control scheme for real-time traffic in wireless networks
Akan, OB; Akyildiz, IF (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2004-08-01)
Next-generation wireless Internet (NGWI) is expected to provide a wide range of services including real-time multimedia to mobile users. However, the real-time multimedia traffic transport requires rate control deployment to protect shared Internet from unfairness and further congestion collapse. The transmission rate control method must also achieve high throughput and satisfy multimedia requirements such a delay or jitter bound. However, the existing solutions are mostly for the wired Internet, and hence,...
