A comparative study of different network simulation tools and experimentation...journalBEEI
Study of computer networks and their performance parameters like delay, bandwidth utilization, throughput, latency, jittering, and packet loss. have gained significant importance in the recent times. Simulation studies have been preferred for these parameters in computer networks, which in a real time is a difficult task. A network consists of many networking devices as gateways, routers, bridges, wireless access points and hub connected to it. To implement any new protocol or algorithm in a network is costlier and time consuming. Recently lot of research is going on underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs). Conducting real time experiments for underwater applications are overpriced, so as an alternative solution for this, we can conduct simulation studies to reduce the cost and quicken the research activities.In this paper we explore the different experimentation platforms and simulation tools available that help the network architects to develop new protocols or do changes to the existing protocol in a productive manner. We classify the tools based on various parameters and provide guidelines for researchers to choose a suitable platform based on their requirements.

AN EFFICIENT BANDWIDTH OPTIMIZATION AND MINIMIZING ENERGY CONSUMPTION UTILIZI...IJCNCJournal
The bandwidth utilization plays a vital role in a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) that transmits data packets from source peer to perspective destination peer without any packet loss and time delay. In a conventional system, two main features cannot be satisfied concurrently such as low delay and high data
reliability and then the peer was transferred fewer data packets and it optimized with regular bandwidth rate. Moreover, the convention of bandwidth in network routers influences the quality of service (QoS). To overcome the above issues, an Efficient Reliability and Interval Discrepant Routing (ERIDR) algorithm is proposed to optimize bandwidth utilization on the router network with the help of bandwidth optimizer. The
bandwidth optimizer allocates required bandwidth for data transmission to each peer simultaneously to ensure the bandwidth efficiency. The proposed design is to optimize bandwidth utilization of every peer and increase data processing via higher bandwidth rate that reduces time delay and minimizes energy consumption. The proposed method establishes a high bandwidth rate router to transmit data concurrently from source peer to destination peer (peer-to-peer) without any packet loss by initializing host IP address for every peer. Based on Experimental evaluations, proposed methodology reduces 3.32 AD (Average Delay), 0.05 ET (Execution Time), 5.44 EC (Energy Consumption) and 0.28 BU (Bandwidth Utilization)
compared than existing methodologies.

DWDM-RAM: Enabling Grid Services with Dynamic Optical NetworksTal Lavian Ph.D.
Advances in Grid technology enable the deployment of data-intensive distributed applications, which require moving Terabytes or even Petabytes of data
between data banks. The current underlying networks cannot provide dedicated links with adequate end-to-end sustained bandwidth to support the requirements of these Grid applications. DWDM-RAM1 is a novel service-oriented architecture, which harnesses the enormous bandwidth potential of optical networks and demonstrates their on-demand nsage on the OMNlnet. Preliminary experiments suggest that dynamic optical networks, such as the OMNlnet, are the ideal option for transferring such massive amounts of data. DWDM-RAM incorporates an OGSI/OGSA compliant service interface and will promote greater convergence between dynamic optical networks and data intensive Grid computing.
Design of Tele command SOC-IP by AES Cryptographic Method Using VHDLdbpublications
The goal of this project is to implement the (AES) encryption system using Verilog. To do this, several separate sections of the algorithm will be coded to work together towards the end goal of performing the correct encryption routines. A telecommand is a command sent to control a remote system or systems i.e not directly connected (e.g. via wires) to the place from which the telecommand is sent. The telecommand word is derived from tele = remote (Greek), and command = to entrust/order (Latin). Systems that need remote measurement and reporting of information of interest to the system designer or operator, require the counterpart of telecommand, telemetry. For a telecommand (TC) to be effective, it must be compiled into a pre-arranged format (which may follow a standard structure), modulated onto a carrier wave which is then transmitted with adequate power to the remote system. The remote system will then demodulates the digital signal from the carrier, decode the telecommand, and execute it.
