Summary:
- Task 1. Develop a web-based visual viewer & editor for the communications network configuration. The user should be able to select an existing configuration and the webpage visualizes it. The user can then add, update, and delete nodes and links. This includes configuration of applications on the selected node. Once editing finishes and the configuration is submitted, the configuration should be serialized and sent to the backend for processing.
- Task 2. Develop the link layer frame structure, transport function, and application layer fragment structures in ns-3 for messages using DNP3 protocol. A comprehensive implementation of the protocol is neither practical nor necessary. The goal of this task is to implement the message structures to support a subset of DNP3 functions that are necessary for our distribution-level use case, which is distributed transactive market clearing.
