1. Unicast-Multicast Bridging for CDEEP EDUSAT Satellite Network Guided by,Presented by, Prof. Purushottam KulkarniMohammed Nazeem V Prof. Sridhar Iyer08305038 MTech 2, CSE MTP Final Presentation

2. Introduction CDEEP Centre for Distance Engineering Education programme EDUSAT Link for live interactive transmission through the satellite 125 remote centers across the country 2 Mbps uplink and 1 Mbps down link Live and interactive teaching EDUSAT satellite network of ISRO is multicast. Courses transmitted from Seminar Hall KReSIT Only one Hall to conduct lectures

3. CDEEP Setup Has four Video Recording Labs Seminar Hall KReSIT EEG 401 Video Lab (Math building) A1/A2 Hall (Math building) All have only webcast transmission except the Seminar Hall – has EDUSAT satellite transmission

4. Terminals types Three type of terminals Video Server – Transmits the live feed to multicast server Student's Terminal (Remote Centre) – Receives the course transmitted – Transmits live feed from the students Teacher's terminal – Receives live feed from the students – Monitors the remote centres

5. CDEEP EDUSAT Satellite Network setup CDEEP network using Edusat Satellite

6. CDEEP Network Setup KReSIT (CDEEP Network Setup in KReSIT

7. Problem Definition Study and understand the functioning of CDEEP satellite network Interconnect EDUSAT satellite network and IIT-B campus network so that courses conducted anywhere in campus be transmitted via satellite. Main concern is – EDUSAT satellite has Multicast backbone BUT campus network is unicast Measurement study of CDEEP satellite network and generate quantitative results.

8. What is to be done ?

9. Related Work Network setup for Mbone webcase at IFSA Conference site [reference: MBone Webcast: Network Setup and Data Collection, Milan Nikolic, Dan Hoffman, Ljiljana Trajkovic, 2003] Connected to multicast backbone Similar to EDUSAT Network cloud Similar to Lecture Hall Similar to IIT-network Seminar Hall KReSIT Unicast only Network

10. Proposal of solutions Extending the EDUSAT network Extending the audio/video cables Application Layer gateway Transmitting RAW audio/video over network Network Layer gateway with NAT Network Layer gateway with NAT and tunneling Network layer Gateway with tunneling Tunneling at routers

11. Extending the EDUSAT network Extending EDUSAT network Additional Infrastructure, does not meet the goal of using existing IIT-B network Nothing much to be done, can be done if no other solution may be found

12. Extending the audio/video cables Extending Audio/Video cable Additional infrastructure for laying down these cables Cables have a limit on range 10-20 metres

13. Application Layer Gateway Application Layer gateway Video Server application of ISRO removed What about the Teacher's terminal?

14. Transmitting RAW audio/video over network Transmitting RAW audio/video over the network What about Teacher's terminal? Same Video Server Application used

15. Gateway at network layer doing NAT 192.168.0.11192.168.0.12 192.168.0.1 10.254.75.2 Network Layer gateway with NAT

16. Gateway at network layer doing NAT EDUSAT Video server and Teacher's terminal out of the EDUSAT network Running same ISRO Applications

17. Network Layer gateway with NAT and tunneling NAT with tunneling 10.105.1.250 10.129.1.250 10.254.75.2 10.129.154.205 10.105.11.203192.168.0.1 192.168.0.10192.168.0.11

18. NAT with tunneling No additional infrastructure Multicast Packets being encapsulated inside unicast IP packets Tunneling between EDUSAT network and IIT-B network Network Layer gateway with NAT and tunneling Anywhere inside the campus, same video server and Teacher's terminal

19. Network Layer Gateway with tunneling Extended EDUSAT network EDUSAT Satellite network Interconnected

20. Implementation Application Layer gateway Java Media Framework (JMF) was used to transmit audio and video to multicast server Transmitting RAW audio/video over network Used a software - FabulaTech USB over Network Version 4.2. I Network Layer gateway with NAT Used ip tables in linux Network Layer gateway with NAT and tunneling Implemented tunnel using GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation) developed by CISCO Network Layer gateway with tunneling Used openvpn

21. Observations Application Layer gateway The transmission did not reach the student's terminal Transmitting RAW audio/video over network Did not work for video capturing devices Network Layer gateway with NAT Worked for local LAN without a gateway Network Layer gateway with NAT and tunneling Tunneling worked, packets get dropped at routers for GRE tunnel Network Layer Gateway with tunneling Worked with openvpn using bridging

22. Tunnel performance experiment Without tunnel Bridging With Cipher With tunnel

23. Results – Tunnel performance Slight increase in ping delay as you move right

24. Day long experiment results The variation in the jitter and ping delay is very small

25. Application for automating tunnel setup customized for CDEEP Java application using swing Same application for both gateways – One as server – Other as client Gets network interfaces available From list choose EDUSAT interface If client, mention the IP address of other gateway

26. Challenges faced Fetching network details of CEEP EDUSAT Understanding the Problem Finding out when the CDEEP EDUSAT network was idle Encoding problem with Application Layer Gateway Sharing Streaming devices over network Port misconfiguration while testing NAT on satellite network Packets getting dropped at routers Routing problem of multicast through tunnel Multicast routing daemon had problems Moving Teacher's terminal and Video server from KReSIT Synchronization of bridging and tunneling

27. Conclusions and Future work Conclusions We have discussed various possible ways of trying out to find a very appropriate solution. The most promising solution would be to implement at the network layer. Tunneling is required to transfer multicast packets through a unicast network. This technique requires no additional hardwares and is very cheap. Future Work Find out whether the solution is scalable as the number of users receiving as well as the number of servers will increase. If performance degrades, improvements in the design of the tunnel itself will have to be made.
