IP has become the worldwidestandard for converged data, video, voice communications in militaryand commercial applications. Satellites extend the reach of theInternet and mission-critical Intranets. Satellites deliver multicastcontent anywhere in the world. New generation, high throughputsatellites provide efficient transport for IP. With these benefits comechallenges. Satellite delay and bit errors can impact performance.Satellite links must be integrated with terrestrial networks. IPprotocols create overheads. Encryption creates overheads. Spacesegment is expensive. There are routing and security issues. Thiscourse explains techniques that can mitigate these challenges,including traffic engineering, quality of service, WAN optimizationdevices, voice multiplexers, data compression, TDMA DAMA tocapture statistical multiplexing gains, improved satellite modulationand coding. Quantitative techniques for understanding throughputand response time are presented. System diagrams describe thesatellite/terrestrial interface. Detailed case histories illustrate methodsfor optimizing the design of converged real-world networks to produceresponsive networks while minimizing the use and cost of satelliteresources.
