Implementación de un Analizador MP-TCP (Multipath-TCP) empleando un Red Definida por Software

Abstract

The main objective of this project is to implement a module that provides the functionality of an MP-TCP protocol analyzer, using the principles of an SDN. Firstly, an overview of the fundamental concepts and those which are required for the development of our work are presented and focused on the MP-TCP protocol, SDN, the architecture of the OpenDaylight controller platform and the employed software tools. Then, some tests with the MP-TCP protocol and basic network prototypes, using Ubuntu and FreeBSD, are performed; also, some simulations with NS3 with MP-TCP are developed. Subsequently, based on the previous tests and the study of MP-TCP, the Analyzer module is designed and implemented, this module uses proactive rules to derive TCP traffic to the controller where the MP-TCP messages are filtered and later presented to the user in a graphical interface. Finally, the results obtained with the Analyzer in different network topologies are presented; for the tests, real and virtual devices are used along with simulations with Mininet.
