| Summary: | "The Satellite Networks and Architectures branch is researching the application of standard Internet technologies over satellite communication links to LEO spacecraft. The In-Space Internet Testbed (ISINT) simulates this communications path through the use of two experimental subnets of workstations communicating over the Advanced Communications Technology Satellite (ACTS) proof-of-concept radio frequency testbed. In order to validate the end-to-end performance of ISINT, similar file transfers were sent over the RF testbed and over an actual ACTS T1 link. Comparison of the results shows that the ISINT facility has very similar performance to communications over ACTS. This test was only for a stationary point-to-point, bent pipe communications link. ISINT will be configured for more complex links now that point-to-point performance has been validated."--NASA Technical Reports Server web site. |
