Delay-/Disruption-Tolerant Networking represents an innovative way to cope with satellite communications impairments. In this view, the paper presents an in-depth analysis of implications of a DTN approach to satellite communications, focusing on these fundamental aspects: network architecture, security, and Quality of Service (QoS). For each topic, commonalities and differences between DTN and Performance...
Several communication environments, supporting important operational scenarios such as deep space communications, Earth observation and mobile terrestrial communications, are extremely challenging for traditional TCP/IP protocols because of their intrinsic characteristic to not guarantee continuously an end-to-end path. An attractive application scenario is concerned the presence of terminals moving...
Delay Tolerant Networking (DTN) has been proposed as a global overlay architecture to provide network connectivity in challenged environments such as deep-space communications field. Bundle Protocol along with its convergence layer protocols transform end-to-end reliability into questionable hop-by-hop reliable communication and imposes a two-tier routing policy that allows flexible routes only within...
In this paper, we derive an analytical model for the estimation of the overhead introduced in a file transfer procedure by three different reliable protocols, namely TCP, SCTP, and Saratoga. The model estimates the introduced overhead down to the IP layer, taking into account uncorrelated packet loss on the channel. The model distinguishes between the overhead on the forward link (server to client),...
Networking has experienced tremendous changes. Once dedicated to one single type of services, technologies are now offering integrated services: we want to have access to any services anywhere. One challenge is the mobility, with 3G terrestrial offers beginning to be successful. In such a context, satellite systems appear as a real opportunity since they may fill the gap between dense connected areas...
The current signalling framework for Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) systems is based on MPEG-2 encoded Program Specific Information and System Information (PSI/SI) Tables that rely on the Transport Stream (TS). It is expected that in time, this architecture will be replaced by one based on the Generic Stream Encapsulation (GSE) protocol, paving the way for the convergence of DVB-S2 broadcast transmission...
