Bachelor Thesis Project Repository

Contents:

Python_Scripts/: Python scripts developed for various analyses and computations in the project.

XML_Simulations/: XML files used for simulations in the CORE Network Emulator.

Purpose:

This repository consolidates all the key components of my bachelor thesis project, including source code, and simulation files.

Usage:

Python scripts can be run to replicate or analyze the study's findings. XML files are for simulation setups in CORE Network Emulator. Contributing: For suggestions or issues, please open an issue in the repository.

Instructions:

1. Start by downloading and installing Core Network Emulator for linux. See https://coreemu.github.io/core/install_ubuntu.html for installation guide.
2. Run the commands sudo core-daemon and core-gui in separate terminals to start the GUI
3. Now you have the ability to open run our scenarios from XML_Simulations/ or create your own.
4. Each script is related to a certain scenario according to the description of the script.
5. If you want to run a script on your own scenario, remember to update the network information in the source code!

Tips for simulations

If you want to use Wireshark-GUI on the simulated machines to analyze traffic, open a terminal and enter the command xhost + to disable access control, meaning any application running on any machine can access and control the graphical display of the local machine. You can then open a GUI with Wireshark by typing DISPLAY=:0 wireshark on desired node console.

We frequently used debug commands in OSPF such as debug ospf event and debug ospf packet (packet type). You can use show debugging ospf to confirm that they are on.
