Network Management Monitoring and Measurement Debugging and Troubleshooting Performance profiles -- delay and throughput; disruption and connectivity Configuration Routing Security configurations (and policy) DTN-Tables ? (long term)  Applications (related to traffic generation for testing and monitoring purposes) General User Applications that can be use to test, stress and exercise the network (i.e. DTNtraceroute, DTNsend/receive, DTNperf, etc...) DTN useful applications (i.e DTNdatabase synchronization (DTNrsync), DTNmail, DTNchat ?, etc...)

Network Management Monitoring and Configuration General Requirements Local Network Management Remote Network Management Monitoring Bundle Processing System Characteristics Convergence Layers Multi-Homing Radios Processing Power Onboard Storage Configuration Routing Name Resolution Local and Network Time Security

Definitions Local Management ≡ Logged into the device locally or via Real-time access such as via a connected IP network Assume high bandwidth, no disruption and insignificant delay Remote Management ≡ Managed over a DTN network Handles Long Delays, Long Periods of Disruption, and Low Bandwidths

General Requirements Management and Configuration should work for all DTN environments High delay, long periods of disconnection, low bandwidth System may be multiple hops away and never reachable in a single hop System may not be synchronized Multiple security levels Secure Login and encrypted data transfer (i.e. SSH or TLS for local management, something yet to be defined for remote management) Monitoring - Modest Security Configuration - High Security Remote Management uses bundling Remote Configuration Incremental Test, Validation, restore/recovery

(Parking Lot) Issues / Comments/ Concerns For unsynchronized system Time-stamping data (relative time ?) Is Locking or partial locking of configurations needed? DTN Naming – We already have an issue with ipn vs dtn compatability.

Utilities – beginnings of NetMgt (Make utilities interoperable between ION and DTN-2) DTN-ping DTN-send/receive DTN-traceroute DTN-perf DTN-heartbeat DTN- DTN-chat Bundle Count / Traffic Measurement (NEW Request)

NASA DEN Phase-0 Scenario Phase-0 Continuous Connectivity Static routing No BP Security Delay: Lunar 3 sec BW: 128kbps [>100Mbps] BP/LTP/Encap or BP/LTP/IP/Encap Delay: 100s msec? BW: 72/k/192k Story EVA sending some sort of telemetry (different kinds to APL and JPL) Understand that EVA data wouldn’t really go to APL/JPL BP/LTP/Encap or BP/LTP/IP/Encap? OhioU has TCPCL for ION? BW: 10Mbps Limit the amount of available storage (later)
