Abstract

We present ANCORS, an adaptable network controland reporting system that merges technology fromnetwork management and distributed simulation toprovide a unified paradigm for assessing, controlling,and designing active networks.ANCORS introduces aframework to assist in managing the substantialcomplexities of software reuse and scalability in activenetwork environments.Specifically, ANCORS providesan extensible approach to the dynamic integration,management, and runtime assessment of various networkprotocols in live network operations. We present some ofthe advantages that can be obtained by mergingtechnology from network management, distributedsimulation, and active networking, and describe howANCORS leverages complementary elements of each.Wedescribe ANCORS's network engineering support toenable efficient, high-fidelity distributed simulation ofnetworking software.We then use ANCORS to perform aquantitative study of the Random Drop SYN attackdefense mechanism.
