Modeling the Merger of the Classified Networks of the DDN (Defense Data Network): BLACKER

Abstract

The purpose of this thesis was twofold; first, to determine the impacts of adding the new E3 device, BLACKER, to a network of the DDN and second, to develop a simulation model that would lay the foundation for DDN network modeling. A SLAM II computer simulation model was developed to simulate two networks of the DDN. Components of the Blacker system were added to the networks. After BLACKER was installed, the two networks were merged into a single Segment. Sensitivity analysis was performed on the network's input parameters. Analysis was performed on the model's output parameters (values of the SLAM II Output Report) to determine the impact of the BLACKER system on the performance of the individual networks and the Segment.
