A Survey of Congestion Control Techniques and Data Link Protocols in Satellite Networks
<|reference_start|>A Survey of Congestion Control Techniques and Data Link Protocols in Satellite Networks: Satellite communication systems are the means of realizing a global broadband integrated services digital network. Due to the statistical nature of the integrated services traffic, the resulting rate fluctuations and burstiness render congestion control a complicated, yet indispensable function. The long propagation delay of the earth-satellite link further imposes severe demands and constraints on the congestion control schemes, as well as the media access control techniques and retransmission protocols that can be employed in a satellite network. The problems in designing satellite network protocols, as well as some of the solutions proposed to tackle these problems, will be the primary focus of this survey.<|reference_end|>
