The use of communication satellites as a possible way of offering broadband island interconnectivity appears to be a very attractive option, as it will enable the provision of an all-digital, transparent service to a number of ATM islands spanning a wide area, accommodating efficiently a variety of traffic demands. The CATALYST Project (RACE II/R2074) is an attempt to demonstrate the applicability and compatibility of satellite technology with the terrestrial BISDN. In this paper we present an overview of the project and focus on an initial study of the expected user performance through the CATALYST network. Our analysis is based upon mathematical and simulation models and describes the end-system to end-system transfer delay for given message lengths. The protocol profiles assume a mix of Novell NetWare and Network File System client/server architectures, which are supported by either the IEEE 802.3/Ethernet or fibre distributed data interface LANs, which are themselves linked via LAN/ATM/satellite interface units. Areas of further investigation, and the implication of our analysis on the actual network architecture, are discussed.

In this paper, we study the performance of a prioritized on-board baseband switch in conjunction with a multibeam satellite handling integrated services. The services considered for the analysis include voice, video, file transfer and interactive data. The prioritized switch uses both input and output buffering, switch speed-up as well as a two-phase head-of-line resolution algorithm, in order to reduce the buffer loss while maintaining acceptable user delays. The minimum required buffer capacity and switch speed-up for each service in a prioritized environment are found under uniform traffic conditions. It is shown that under uniform traffic conditions, only minimal buffering and switch speed-up are needed even for the lowest priority users. The performance dependence on the switch size is also substantially reduced with head of line resolution and buffering even in a prioritized environment.

An investigation is made of various error recovery schemes for a very-high-speed packet switched network. The schemes investigated are: (1) edge-to-edge recovery, whereby retransmission of erred packets only takes place between source and destination nodes, (2) link-by-link recovery, whereby retransmission only takes place between adjacent switching nodes, and (3) link-edge-combined recovery, using both link-by-link and edge-to-edge schemes. The performance measures are the distribution of transmission delay and error probability of packets across a network. To obtain these measures, the authors develop a tandem queuing network model with feedbacks, where each queue represents a protocol layer within a switching node rather than a switching node as a whole. Numerical results show that for a network with very-high-speed/low-error-rate channels, the edge-to-edge scheme gives the smallest packet transmission delay, while keeping the packet error probability sufficiently small. The only drawback of the edge-to-edge scheme is that it causes network saturation at smaller network traffic load than the older schemes.< >

The paper presents performance results for the SHINPADS serial data bus operating in the environment of a modern, frigate-class ship using a combination of point-to-point links for certain major applications systems and the shared, SHINPADS bus for others. The traffic model used is representative of experience in the design of new ships of this type. It is shown that the bus has adequate performance for the expected traffic load. In addition it is shown that, as traffic increases, delay problems will show up in the application processor environment before there is any significant degradation of the performance of the bus. The value of the provision of several classes of priority on the bus is also investigated.
Simulation, particularly of networks of queues, is an application with a high degree of inherent parallelism, and is of considerable practical interest. We continue the analysis of synchronization methods for distribu...

This book provides an overview of the latest R&D advancements in the field of ICT technologies inherent to a New Space vision. The book presents a system-level and technology-level description of future space networking and communications. The authors also expand the vision to interplanetary networks. The book spans hardware and software technologies for future space communicationnetworks, also considering very modern paradigms like quantum technologies and Softwarization. In the book, the word “space” is intended in a wider sense than the usual “satellite communications”, including new and partially unexplored fields like quantum space communications, interplanetary communications, and extra-terrestrial Radio Access networks (RANs). The book includes applications including Internet of Space Things, Tactile Internet/Digital twins for Space and discusses future challenges like those involved by the concept of “sustainable Space”.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th IFIP-TC6 Networking Conference, Networking 2010. Papers were solicited in three broad topic areas: applications and services, network technologies, and internet design. All papers were considered on their merits by a uni?ed Technical ProgramCommittee (TPC); there was no attempt to enforce a quota among topic areas. We believe the resulting program is an excellentrepresentationofthebreadthofrecentadvancesinnetworkingresearch. This year, the conference received 101 full paper submissions from 23 co- trieson?vecontinents,re?ectingastrongdiversityinthenetworkingcommunity. Similarly, the 92 members of the TPC are from 21 countries and include a mix of academic, industry, and governmental a?liations. The TPC members, aided by some 50 external reviewers, provided a total of 470 reviews and follow-up discussions totaling more than 200 messages. The ?nal selections were made at a TPC meeting hosted by Columbia University in New York City, with both in-person and remote participation. In total, authors of accepted papers have academic and industry a?liations in 15 countries. We ?nally selected 24papers for presentationduring the conference technical sessions. A small number of papers were assigned a shepherd from the TPC to assist in paper revision. These statistics represent an acceptance rate of just under 24%, comparable to that of previous years. The TPC also identi?ed several papers that re?ect particularly promising early results; these papers were selected for presentation as work-in-progress papers and are identi?ed as such in the proceedings.
