COURSE OVERVIEW

IP Networking Over Satellite Training is designed for satellite engineers and managers in the military, government, and industry who need to increase their understanding of how Internet Protocols (IP) can be used to efficiently transmit mission-critical converged traffic over satellites. IP has become the worldwide standard for converged data, video, and voice communications in military and commercial applications. Satellites extend the reach of the Internet and mission-critical Intranets. Satellites deliver multicast content anywhere in the world. New generation, high throughput satellites provide efficient transport for IP. With these benefits come challenges. Satellite delay and bit errors can impact performance. Satellite links must be integrated with terrestrial networks.

IP protocols create overheads. Encryption creates overheads. The space segment is expensive. There are routing and security issues. This IP Networking Over Satellite Training course explains techniques that can mitigate these challenges. Quantitative techniques for understanding throughput and response time are presented. System diagrams describe the satellite/terrestrial interface. Detailed case histories illustrate methods for optimizing the design of converged real-world networks to produce responsive networks while minimizing the use and cost of satellite resources. The IP Networking Over Satellite Training course notes provide an up-to-date reference. An extensive bibliography is supplied.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

Upon completing this IP Networking Over Satellite Training course, learners will be able to meet these objectives:

  • IP protocols at the network, transport, and application layers. Voice over IP (VOIP)
  • The impact of IP overheads and the off-the-shelf devices available to reduce this impact: WAN optimizers, header compression, voice and video compression, performance enhancement proxies, voice multiplexers, caching, and satellite-based IP multicasting.
  • How to deploy Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms and use traffic engineering to ensure maximum performance (fast response time, low packet loss, low packet delay, and jitter) over communication links
  • How to use satellites as essential elements in mission-critical data networks.
  • How to understand and overcome the impact of propagation delay and bit errors on throughput and response time in satellite-based IP networks.
  • Impact of new coding and modulation techniques on bandwidth efficiency – more bits per second per hertz
  • How adaptive coding and modulation (ACM) can improve bandwidth efficiency
  • How to link satellite and terrestrial circuits to create hybrid IP networks
  • How to use statistical multiplexing to reduce the cost and amount of satellite resources that support converged voice, video, and data networks with strict performance requirements
  • Link budget tradeoffs in the design of TDM/TDMA DAMA networks
  • Standards for IP Modems: DVB in the commercial world, JIPM in the military world
  • How to select the appropriate system architectures for Internet access, enterprise, and content delivery networks
  • The impact on cost and performance of new technology, such as LEOs, Ka-band, on-board processing, inter-satellite links, traffic optimization devices, high throughput satellites such as Jupiter, and Viasat-1. After taking this course you will understand how to implement highly efficient satellite-based networks that provide Internet access, multicast content delivery services, and mission-critical Intranet services to users around the world.
