Design Issues for Mixed Media Packet Switching Networks.

Abstract

In this paper we present some of the important design issues for packet switching networks with both satellite and terrestial components -- which we call mixed media packet switching networks. Satellite packet switching has considerable promise for low cost, high bandwidth data communications. However there is inherent high delay in satellite links which do not appear in ground links. Therefore a mix of the two communications media offers the advantages of low cost/high bandwidth together with low delay communications where required. In this paper we examine a number of tradeoffs which offer guidelines for the design and optimum utilization of mixed media networks. (Author)
