Presentation: https://www.nntb.no/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/LCN2020-HENCSAT-Demo.mp4
Abstract: Satellite communication is available anywhere on earth, allowing connectivity to systems like Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) in very remote geographical areas. However, satellite airtime is expensive, and a reduction of the amount of transmitted data can lead to significant cost savings. The goal of the Highly-Efficient Network Coding for Satellite Applications (HENCSAT) project is to reduce such costs by using our approach Network Coding with Torrents (NECTOR). NECTOR combines network coding, Torrent-based transmission, and H.265 highly efficient video encoding. In our demonstration, we would like to showcase NECTOR in an interactive HENCSAT test bench setup.
Pixelizr: A Visual Demonstration of the FERRET Framework
Authors: Fabian Marquardt, Christopher Schmidt and Lennart Haas (University of Bonn, Germany)
Presentation: https://youtu.be/EoXnDirFhXk
Abstract: Tasks such as network scanning, data scraping or other forms of data retrieval are the basis of many activities in computer networks research. To create flexible and efficient tools for such tasks we have created FERRET, a Python-based framework. FERRET uses a pipeline architecture to perform data retrieval and analysis tasks. Our demonstration provides an artificial, yet interesting showcase of this framework using individual pixels of an image file to make the parallel processing of data with a FERRET-based tool visible to the viewer.
Integrating Cloud-RAN with Packet Core as VNF Using Open Source MANO and OpenAirInterface

Abstract: The Cloud-based Radio Access Network (Cloud-RAN) architecture and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) are key enablers to building future mobile networks in a flexible and cost-efficient way. With early deployments of the fifth generation of mobile technologies - 5G - around the world, setting up 4G/5G experimental infrastructures is necessary to optimally design 5G networks. In this demo, we present a custom small-scale 4G/5G testbed based on OpenAirInterface and Open Source MANO. The testbed integrates a Cloud-RAN based on switched Ethernet Xhaul and functional splitting, with an Evolved Packet Core (EPC) deployed as a Virtual Network Function (VNF) in a cloud infrastructure. Using Open Source MANO, this demo shows the administration and monitoring of the EPC VNF components. Moreover, as proof of concept, collection and visualization of telemetry will be shown for two smartphones connected to the network through the Cloud-RAN.
Go-Raider: Managing Cyber-Resilient Botnets Through Blockchain
Authors: Dimitri Kamenski and Arash Shaghaghi (Deakin University, Geelong -- Centre for Cyber Security Research and Innovation, Australia); Matthew Warren (RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia); Salil S Kanhere (UNSW Sydney, Australia)
Presentation: https://youtu.be/8VtG3aw-HEc
Abstract: We showcase how attackers can leverage decentralised technologies to dynamically manage trust requirements in illicit activities. We focus on controlling botnets that are resilient to hostile takeovers. We present a step-by-step demo of how blockchain-based botnets can be built focusing on Bitcoin blockchain. We also show how specific Bitcoin APIs can be used in order to write extraneous data to the blockchain. Finally, we discuss possible defence mechanisms against the attack presented.
To Stream or Not to Stream, Is This the Question? Or, How to Stream Laser Shows the Better Way: Video Preview or Raw IDN (ILDA Digital Network)?
Authors: Matthias Frank (University of Bonn, Germany)
Presentation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fh024oQSOyU
Abstract: This demonstration presents different options of streaming laser shows over the Internet. Just like with other cultural or show based happenings, streaming the live event with video and audio transmission seems to be the most obvious option. For the transmission of laser show related data, the International Laser Display Association (ILDA) is working on the novel protocol suite of the ILDA Digital Network (IDN). Although up to now the IDN protocols were primarily used in local network environments, the data transmission over longer distances via the Internet could be feasible as well. Our demo will give some insights on IDN capabilities and will show a prototype setup for Internet streaming of laser shows using IDN.
