Diplomarbeit (master thesis)

Topic: Performance evaluation of packet capturing systems in high-speed networks.

My Diplomarbeit (comparable to a master thesis) is answering the questions, arising from my SEP. To perform exact measurements I had to enhance the Linux Kernel Packet Generator, write a small load monitoring tool and write a program (called createDist refer to LKPG) for counting, calculating and producing packet size distributions. Nevertheless the main focus was again on the measurements. This time regarding multi-processor systems, utilising the BPF filter mechanism, and additional load. Furthermore different systems in terms of operating systems (Linux and FreeBSD) and/or architectures (Intel Xeon vs. AMD Opteron) were investigated.

SEP

An SEP, is a project work required for the orals of the course of studies. The topic was Analyse der Leistung von BPF und libpcap in Gigabit-Ethernet Umgebungen which means "Analysis of the Performance of BPF and libpcap in Gigabit-Ethernet Environments". The work dealt with question, if it is better to perform packet capturing with Linux or with FreeBSD. Regrettably, my slides and my thesis are only available in german.

Studies

Besides of the afore mentioned SEP and my master thesis I composed additional and perhaps useful writings, unfortunately all in german:
