A Satellite Network Routing Simulation System Based On Mobile Agent

Satellite network as a special means of communication, with its characteristics of huge coverage, remote communication distance and less constained conditions has been much concerned in recent years. Different from the general terrestrial network, satellite network has the characteristics of high cost and update and maintenance difficulty.As a result, a large number of simulations and demonstrations are associated with the development of satellite network.This thesis builds a Satellite Network Routing Simulation System Based on Mobile Agent, including a simulation platform and a demo management system. The system runs on linux operating system and simulates the features of satellite network communication and intelligent agents with database, netfilter and agent. The demo management system manages the simulation platform which loads on the satellite routing algorithm and tests its performance.At first, the thesis gives a brief introduction of satellite network and intelligent agents.Then it proposes a routing algorithm of satellite network based on mobile agent.Then the implemention of the satellite network routing simulation system is decribed in detail. A simple network model which conludes 3*3 satellite nodes is founded at the end.The routing algorithm is tested on the simulation platform and it proves effective.
