Abstract
Satellite networks, offering broad geographical coverage and deployment, appear to be an attractive option, provided a number of difficulties deriving from the nature of satellite systems can be overcome. A group of experiments has been performed using Marconi Research Centre ATM Test-bed applying the NetPIPE benchmarking tool to investigate these difficulties such as the influence of the round-trip-delay and the error rate on the throughput, delay variations and performance of LAN islands characterised by their backward low bit rate (2.048 Mbps) over ATM satellite networks. Consequently, Some characteristics are defined and some conclusions regarding the future performance of TCP/IP over satellite ATM networks, are drawn.
