Development and research of dynamic address space protocol on multicast-groups

In this paper the protocol based on dynamic addressing algorithm is presented. It is based on the node concealment method by relaying messages through the group broadcasting. It shows the principle of data exchange in the process of implementation of the protocol in a computer network. Also the results of experimental studies for the performance of the implemented protocol are presented. It shows how to perform standard tests for software elements by using the proposed protocol. The protocol implemen- tation accounts the requirements of use in distributed computing systems. In addition, it shows the complete procedure of experimental studies for the realization of comparative tests. The protocol is also suitable for testing compatibility and throughput. The authors previously proposed the algorithm for dynamic addressing based on the technology of moving target. Usage of a specified algorithm as the basis of dynamic addressing protocol allowed us to obtain some useful properties from the point of view of security. These properties affect the transmission delay and decrease in throughput, which is also reflected in experimental studies. It shows the limitations, the application of which to the protocol can reduce the negative impact of these properties. Experimental studies were conducted on the special test stand. The equipment used for experimental research, takes into account the requirements to the protocol. The main requirements related to the need to support technology-based security of a moving target, and the possibility of the operation of the protocol in distributed computing systems. In addition, the probability of packet loss during transmission is separately evaluated. Presented in the present work, the solution can be applied in the task of secure communication in computer net- works, and other related tasks. Protocol uses the moving target technology and can be used for applications in control systems, ground equipment and flight control centers to make it difficult for a hacker to access specific devices.
