Implementation of af_atn raw socket for the atn tp4/clnp networking suite
The ATN TP4/CLNP Networking Suite project (http://sourceforge.net/projects/atn) is a joint research program between the Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology and Swiss German University to help Indonesian air transportation authorities in implementing the new standards of communication, navigation, and surveillance for air traffic management (CNS/ATM) as required by the ICAO. We take part in the joint research program by developing the interfaces that connect the network layer to both the datalink and the application layers. With respect to the interface that connects the network and the application layer, we implement a new communication domain named PF_ATN for BSD socket to enable user-space processes to concurrently communicate in the communication domain of the ATN with other user-space processes residing in the same machine or in other machines. We demonstrate that we have successfully completed our objective by performing benchmarks between PF_ATN raw sockets and PF_INET UDP sockets. The benchmarks were conducted by connecting two end-systems in a peer-to-peer arrangement running PF_ATN and PF_INET client-server programs. The results show that the throughputs of the PF_ATN raw sockets were as good as those of the PF_INET UDP sockets, and consequently, prove that we have successfully completed our objective to implement the interfaces that connect the network layer to both the datalink and the application layers.
