Main contribution

The contribution brings into the simulation environment a class of attacks that is especially critical for low-Earth-orbit networks, where topology changes continuously and congestion points can move quickly.

Link with BoND1

BoND1 addresses advanced connectivity beyond conventional cellular networks. This publication reinforces the resilience dimension of the project by enabling the analysis of satellite infrastructure under malicious traffic and the design of more robust defense mechanisms.
