| Abstract Text | The rapid development of technology requires architectures that can adapt to this high demand. Using mesh networks can provide a dynamic and cost-efficient way for horizontal scalability. Although mesh networks have many advantages, these networks lose the ability to monitor traffic reliably. Traffic monitoring on mesh networks would be beneficial for network operators. It would reduce the opportunity cost of adapting mesh networks compared to traditional network topologies. In this thesis, a new protocol will try to provide a new approach to traffic accounting. The Cascade Encryption Protocol (CEC) will couple monitoring- and data traffic utilizing encryption to encapsulate routing information in the packets. The CEC protocol was evaluated using simulations on a larger scale on the Abilene topology for a real-life-like environment and line topology on a smaller scale to determine created overhead. The analysis showed a correlation between the overhead and the number of flows on the small-scale tests. Furthermore, the protocol’s performance stays steady on a fully utilized network and degrades slowly as the number of flows increases. |
