Satellite Networking (PDF)

This book provides up to date coverage of the basics of
ATM and internet protocols, and characteristics of satellite
networks and internetworking between satellite and terrestrial
networks

Satellite Networking: Principles and Protocols, Second
Edition provides up to date information of the original topics
in satellite networking and protocols focusing on Internet
Protocols (IP) over satellites, broadband over satellites, next
generation IP (IPv6) over satellites, new generation of DVB-S/S2
and DVB-RCS next generations and new services and
applications. It also includes some analytical techniques for
evaluation of end to end IP performance and QoS over satellite,
reflecting the recent convergence of telecommunication, Internet,
broadcasting and mobile networks.

Topics new to this edition: Internetworking with MANET, DVB-S/S2
and DVB-RCS/RCS2 (including TCP/IP over DVB-S/RCS), recent
developments in broadband satellite systems, convergence of
services and network technologies (including Internet, telecom,
mobile, TV, etc.), radio resource management, PEP, I-PEP, SCPS,
traffic modelling and engineering with analysis and examples,
and future developments of satellite networking.

* Provides up to date coverage of the basics of ATM and
internet protocols, and characteristics of satellite networks and
internetworking between satellite and terrestrial networks (e.g.
mobile ad hoc networks), including coverage of new services and
applications (e.g. Internet, telecom, mobile and TV)

* Discusses the real-time protocols including RTP, RTCP and SIP
for real-time applications such as VoIP and MMC, and explains
TCP/IP over satellite and evolution of IPv6 over satellite and
beyond
