Abstract

The use of satellites as an integrated part of larger deployed IP networks is today constrained by the fact that satellite networks need particular interface functions and careful management, due to the cost of space segment resources. This paper describes a new approach to the design of the satellite/terrestrial network interface that seeks to ease integration of satellite systems in IP-based network infrastructure. It proposes an evolution towards a common external interface and development of appropriate common satellite IP-layer protocol modules. This new design will demand new research and development and is expected to result in additional standardization actions.
