Service Efficient Network Interconnection via Satellite

Beschreibung

A Local Area Network (LAN) is a network usually within a singleoffice or building that links desktop computers with each other andwith peripherals such as servers and printers. The interconnect isthe electrical and functional association of two differentservices, often provided by different suppliers, and it is from LANinter-connection that telecoms operators seek to profit. Theapplication of LAN interconnection via satellite can be used tocomplement and extend existing terrestrial public access networksthrough interconnection of clusters of broadband islands (such asLANs and MANs) in remote regions, where terrestrial lines areexpensive to install and operate. Examples include: * Hospitals/clinics in remote and rural areas can be connected tothe central hospitals in a tele-medicine environment * Remote offices can be connected to the central office tofacilitate tele-working * University/colleges can be inter-connected to providetele-education facilities Similarly, the possibility to provide access to such facilities indeveloping regions of the world is also viable and particularlyattractive in the short to mid-term. Private LAN connectionfacilities could also be made available to the corporate user,offering the possibility to establish broadband internet accesswithin a closed user group. Such a scenario could be of interest tothe financial sector. By gathering the knowledge and experiences ofwell-known satellite systems experts from different parts of Europethis comprehensive volume provides detailed analysis on technicalaspects for interconnecting local area network using satellite.Starting from traffic source modelling for different types ofapplications and services to different types of transmissiontechniques and networking functions for supporting such services,different case studies are presented to analyse the performance ofsuch technologies. By providing an insight to current and future developments insatellite communications systems and by covering a broad range ofmaterials in technical aspects in relation to satellitecommunication systems technologies, this volume will be oftremendous use to researchers, academia and industry. * First book to present such a thorough description of thereliability functions of satellite systems * Discusses IP over satellite * Provides a unique analysis and description of differentsimulation tools that are under development for evaluating theperformance of satellite systems * Includes a chapter devoted to traffic modelling for satellitesystems * Reviews current research and developments in security anddiscusses how such security functions can be implemented oversatellite networks * Addresses different types of routing strategies and includesthree different case studies which have been carried out to analysethe performance of different routing strategies
