Delay manifests itself in a number of ways, including the time taken to establish a particular service from the initial user request ...
342be278db575e370ea87dcd0bbb4b47
101 985
7.2.3 Delay variation
Delay variation is a parameter that measures the differences in delay between successive packet arrivals at the exit port of the satellite subnetwork. Delay variation is generally included as a performance parameter since it is very important at the transport layer in packetized data systems due to the inherent variabi...

8.1.1 QoS definition
Quality of Service (QoS) is the collective effect of service performance which impacts the degree of satisfaction of a user of the service. QoS is to the ability of a network element (e.g. an application, host or router) to have some level of assurance that its traffic and service requirements can be satisfied. To enab...

8.1.2 QoS architecture
This clause discusses Quality of Service (QoS) as applied to the BSM bearer services. Network Services are considered end-to-end, this means from an End System (ES) to another ES. An end-to-end Service may have a certain Quality of Service (QoS) which is provided for the user of a network service. It is the user that d...

101 985
8.1.3 End-to-End QoS
On its way from one End System (ES) another ES the traffic has to pass different bearer services of a series of network(s) and the End-to-End-Service used by the ES is determined by the combination of the BSM bearer services and those External Bearer Services. As the End-to-End Service is conveyed over several networks...

101 985
8.1.4 BSM Quality of Service
BSM Quality of Service (BSM QoS) is the QoS that applies to the BSM Bearer Services. These are the services that the BSM network operator offers and it is these BSM bearer services that provide the BSM QoS. QoS does not create bandwidth. It is not possible for the network to give what it does not have, so bandwidth ava...

8.2 IP Quality of Service
342be278db575e370ea87dcd0bbb4b47
101 985
8.2.1 General
There is no single IP QoS service model. Broadly speaking two approaches exist: Integrated Services (Intserv) [11] and Differentiated Services (Diffserv) [12]. Combinations of the two have also been proposed. IETF RFC 2990 [13] represents the present understanding of the challenges in providing a QoS architecture for t...
342be278db575e370ea87dcd0bbb4b47
101 985
8.2.2 Best-effort
The basic IP protocol stack provides only one QoS, which is called best-effort. Packets are transmitted from point to point without any guarantee for a special bandwidth or minimum time delay. This means that all requests have the same priority and there is no possibility to make bandwidth reservations for specific con...
342be278db575e370ea87dcd0bbb4b47
101 985
8.2.3 IP Integrated Services (Intserv)
Integrated Services (Intserv) bring enhancements to the IP network model to support real-time transmissions and guaranteed bandwidth for specific flows. In this case, we define a flow as a distinguishable stream of related datagrams from a unique sender to a unique receiver that results from a single user activity and ...

In the IP world, when a packet comes into a router the following action takes place: β€’ The router examines the destination IP address to determine if the router is the destination. β€’ If so, the router passes the IP packet "up the stack" to the appropriate application based on the protocol field. β€’ If not, the router de...

9.2 Address resolution
This clause discusses how the BSM system determines the IP address and MAC address of the "next hop" in order to forward IP datagrams to a router at another ST.

9.2.1 General
Address Resolution (AR) is the means by which a network layer (IPv4 or IPv6) address is resolved to a link layer (satellite MAC or Ethernet) address. Address resolution is performed after the router interface is determined and makes use of an AR cache, which keeps AR entries for resolving the network address. The AR ca...

9.2.2 Reference model
Figure 9.2.2 shows a reference model for the Addressing and Routing functions at the Satellite Independent interface (SI_SAP). The model defines two components: β€’ The address resolution function in the C-plane. This function is used to determine the satellite link address when the address translation is unknown. The re...

9.2.3 External interfaces
For the external (wired) interfaces, the ST shall use standard Address Resolution protocols. For example, for an Ethernet interface, ARP (Address Resolution Protocol), IETF RFC 826 [23] shall be used for resolving IPv4 addresses and ND (Neighbour Discovery), IETF RFC 2461 [24], for resolving IPv6 addresses.

9.2.4 SI-SAP interface
Satellite specific Address Resolution protocols are assumed internal to the satellite subnetwork. AR protocols that are used for external network are generally not suitable since these protocols may generate excessive signalling traffic. Moreover, standard IP routing protocols are usually designed to allow multiple rou...

9.2.5 Satellite specific address resolution protocols
Through the SI-SAP, address resolution services can make use of an internal satellite specific address resolution protocol (S-ARP). Such protocol can make use of the inherent broadcast nature of the satellite links without introducing the overhead of Ethernet ARP or IPv6 Neighbour Discovery (ND). A possible solution wo...

9.3.1 General
Routing determines the network layer (IPv4 or IPv6) address of the next hop that a network layer packet must be sent. An ST should have the capability to perform IP routing functions. As a minimum the ST should deal with static routes to enable subnets on the satellite side of the terminal to be owned by the satellite ...

9.3.3 Dynamic routing
This clause describes the forwarding of IP packets through the BSM system using dynamic routing. Dynamic routing may be applicable to both the terrestrial and satellite interfaces. With dynamic routing, the forwarding table of the ST is configured and updated dynamically thanks to a routing protocol. This requires that...

10.1 General
By virtue of their wide-coverage area, BSM systems can be particularly effective when used to provide two basic categories of service: multicast and broadcast. Here we use the term "multicast" to indicate an addressed service and broadcast to indicate an unaddressed (or "all-stations") service. Both services feature a ...

10.3 IP Multicast functions
IP Multicast Services are defined in IETF RFC 1112 [9] and IETF RFC 2236 [10]. These services differ from the generic BSM multipoint services (as defined above) in that the transmission is from one or more users to a single group address (a specific IP address). None or more destinations may join the group to request c...

10.3.1 Static multicast groups
Static multicast groups are groups that are pre-configured by management. A ST can either accept or discard data from the groups to which it is subscribed. Static multicast groups may be permanent, or scheduled. Scheduled multicast groups are valid for a specific period: this may be a single event or a regular event. S...
