Abstract

Satellite systems complement terrestrial networks where the network could not be deployed for technical or economical reasons. Moreover, the natural broadcasting capacity of satellite networks makes it a good companion to terrestrial networks. In this context, future services will be deployed over networks that combine terrestrial and satellite systems. The infrastructure heterogeneity could be problematic, especially because of the delays variation. This article presents the problem from the point of view of the transport layer, the layer directly connected to the application, and compares several solutions to help future service developers using such network configuration.
