Measurement of the Performance of the HSC and USI Satellite Routers
European Space Agency (ESA) (TE)
1994/1995
This project investigated the performance of TCP/IP over a VSAT LAN-interconnection
system. The project was a part of the European Co-operative
Data Environment (CODE) network. Personnel from the University of Aberdeen
carried out a detailed analysis of the performance of the Hub Station Controller
(HSC) and User Station Interface (USI). These two equipments each consist
of a satellite channel access subsystem and a TCP/IP router. The latter
supports the full functionality of an IP router. The tests evaluated a number
of software releases indicating performance bottlenecks and providing data
on the maximum performance obtainable under various test conditions.
The output of this work was a series of reports which documented the test
procedures and provided test results. The reports were used as part of the
continuing CODE programme in support of
high performance VSAT networking.
