The effect of satellite lines on the ARPANET protocols

Abstract

This paper is based on a test that was run on a small network which included a high speed satellite line. The network was running with the standard ARPANET protocols. We will be interested in the link protocol, which ensures reliable transmission from one node to the next, and the end-to-end protocol, which ensures reliable transmission from the source node to the destination node. Only some details of these protocols will be relevant here. We will not be concerned with higher level protocols, such as the host-host protocol, Telnet or FTP.
