[Giovanni Neglia]

Dear Ubinetters,
do not hesitate to forward the following internship proposal to
your colleagues at your home-universities.

Thanks,
Giovanni Neglia


Internship: CFDP and BitTorrent for satellite missions

CFDP is the File Delivery Protocol proposed for space communications
by the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems.
The European Space Agency has appointed Thales Alenia Space and INRIA
Maestro team
to study the possibility to integrate CFDP in a BitTorrent-like
architecture for data distribution
among ground stations.
In this framework, the goal of the internship is to evaluate, mainly by
simulations on ns-3,
the performance of BitTorrent-enhanced ground stations,
that cooperatively share data chunks received from Low Earth Orbit
satellites.
The student should
- modify ns-3 and in particular the BitTorrent module in order to
support the proposed operation
- carry on a simulation campaign to evaluate the performance of the
proposed architecture
- install the modified simulator and show its operation at the European
Space Operations Centre
in Darmstadt, Germany.

Duration of the internship: 6 months starting from September 2013
Scholarship: about 1100 euros per month
