QoS-LI: QoS loss inference in disadvantaged networks -- part II

The Quality-of-Service (QoS) in disadvantaged networks is a function of many parameters, including the nature of the physical link over which the disadvantaged network operates. While there exist mechanisms (like specialized versions of TCP) to account for their nature and operate optimally over disadvantaged networks, their operation under adversarial conditions have not been investigated. In our prior work [17], we presented a game theoretic framework to infer the nature of a QoS loss in disadvantaged networks. In this work, we present the translation of the theoretical framework to a satellite based disadvantaged network. We show the feasibility of the game theoretic formulations in satellite networks through simulations in Opnet.
