Hello,
I am an engineering student, currently working on
my thesis in cooperation with Alcatel about security on the ethernet layer
in satellite networks. The network I have considered in my work uses PPPoE
encapsulated by MPE in MPEG transport streams for the forward link and
encapsulated by AAL5 in ATM for the return link. If you insert security fields,
the possibility exists that the payload of the ethernet frame becomes larger
than the allowed 1500 bytes. My question is now whether it is possible to modify
MPE and AAL5 to allow frames with payloads larger than 1500 bytes to be
inserted?
It would help me a lot if someone could answer this
question for me since I studied the MPE and AAL5 standard and did not find an
exact answer for this question.
Thanks in advance,
