Satellite Networking Principles and Protocols

Satellite has played an important role in telephony communication and TV broadcasting services since the birth of telecommunication satellites. It is less known that satellite also plays an important role in broadband and Internet services and will continue to play an important role in the future generation networks. This is due to the satellite characteristics that make a niche position for satellites in the global network infrastructure (GNI).
Satellite networking is a special and important topic together with other networking technologies in recent years. Due to the nature of satellite links (long propagation delay, relative high bit error rate and limited bandwidth in comparison with terrestrial links, particularly optical links), some standard network protocols do not perform well and have to be adapted to support efficient connection over satellite. Satellite orbit directly affects the link characteristics and has a significant impact in satellite network design.
