An Analysis of CyberSleuth Traffic in a Tactical Internet Environment
Binh Quang Nguyen · 2003
Preliminary results of an analysis of CyberSleuth traffic data are reported in this document. CyberSleuth is a prototype of an adaptive agent-based vulnerability system intended for digitized tactical information systems. The analysis focuses on identifying the size of the mobile agents used in CyberSleutb and the required time for a mobile agent to travel between two networked computers. The traffic data were captured in an experiment conducted in the Tactical Internet laboratory of the U.S. Army Communications-Electronic Research, Development, and Engineering Center (CERDEC) in August 2002. The knowledge learned from studying the analyzed results could potentially lead to a better understanding of the constrained behavior of a very low bandwidth communication environment in which a potential application of mobile agents would have to operate.
