The use of Explicit Congestion Notification to Shape Traffic of an Intelligent Satellite System

IEEE RAWCON 2007

Abstract

Since the official standardization of Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) in 2001 [2], the Differentiated Service (DS) [7] bits 6 and 7 in packets are now classified for purposes of shaping and prioritization. These classifications are used to mark packet streams for controlling traffic flow in an Intelligent Satellite System (ISS). Using a forward link connection between a transmitting ground terminal to a Geostationary satellite (GEO) acting as a relay, to a receiving hub back on the earth; a traffic shaping software which evaluates the ECN type or classification is used to control traffic flow and the results are observed.
