INTRODUCTION
Satellites are ideal for providing internet and private network access over long
distance and to remote locations. However the internet protocols are not optimized
for satellite conditions and consequently the throughput over the satellite networks
is restricted to only a fraction of available bandwidth. We can over come these
restrictions by using the Sky X protocol.
The Sky X Gateway and Sky X Client/Servers systems replaces TCP over satellite
link with a protocol optimized for the long latency, high loss and asymmetric
bandwidth conditions of the typical satellite communication. Adding the Sky X
system to a satellite network allows users to take full advantage of the available
bandwidth. The Sky X Gateway transparently enhances the performance of all users
on a satellite network without any modifications to the end clients and servers.
The Sky X Client and the Sky X Server enhance the performance of data transmissions
over satellites directly to end user PC's, thereby increasing Web performance
by 3 times or more and file transfer speeds by 10 to 100 times. The Sky X solution
is entirely transparent to end users, works with all TCP applications and does
not require any modifications to end client and servers.
Sky X products are the leading implementation of a class of products known variously
as protocol gateway TCP Performance Enhancing Proxy (TCP/PEP) , or satellite spoofer.The
Sky X gateways are available as ready to install hardware solutions which can
be added to any satellite network.
The Sky X family consists of the Sky X Gateway, Sky x Client/Server and the sky
X OEM products. The Sky X Gateway is a hardware solution designed for easy installation
into any satellite network and provides performance enhancement for all devices
on the network. The Sky X Client/Server provides performance enhancement to individual
PC's.
PERFORMANCE
OF TCP OVER SATELLITE
Satellites are an attractive option for carrying Internet and other IP traffic
to many locations across the globe where terrestrial options are limited or price
prohibitive. However data networking over satellites is faced with overcoming
the latency and high bit error rates typical of satellite communications, as well
as the asymmetric bandwidth of most satellite networks.
Communication over geosynchronous satellites, orbiting at an altitude of 22,300
miles has round trip times of approximately 540 m/s, an order of magnitude larger
than terrestrial networks. The journey through the atmosphere can also introduce
bit errors into the data stream. These factors, combined with backchannel bandwidth
typically much smaller than that available on the forward channel, reduce the
effectiveness of TCP which is optimized for short hops over low-loss cables or
fiber.Eventhough the TCP is very effective in the local network connected by using
cables or optical fibers by using its many features such as LPV6, LPsec and other
leading-edge functionality. Also it will work with real time operating systems.TCP
is designed for efficiency and high performance ,and optimized for maximum throughput
and the highest transaction speeds in local networks.
But the satellite conditions adversely interact with a number of elements of the
TCP architecture, including it s window sizing, congestion avoidance algorithms,
and data acknowledgment mechanisms, which contribute to severely constrict the
data throughput that can be achieved over satellite links. Thus the advantages
achieved by TCP in LAN's are no longer effective in the satellite link. So it
is desirable to design a separate protocol for communication through the satellite
to eliminate the disadvantages of using TCP over the satellite link
