Abstract
Broadband satellite network plays a key role in global information infrastructure both in core and access technologies. Due to the nature of bandwidth rich multimedia applications requiring guaranteed QoS levels, new standardization efforts must be undertaken. Standards for satellite network systems are required in order to allow optimization and cost-effective production of crucial space segment technology. Currently, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), International Telecommunication Union-Telecommunication (ITU-T), International Telecommunication Union-Radiocommunication (ITU-R), European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI)/Broadband Satellite Multimedia (BSM), Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA), and The Asynchronous Transfer Mode Forum (ATM Forum) are some of the standard organizations developing satellite IP and satellite ATM specifications. This chapter reviews briefly the standard activities of satellite IP including services, applications, architectures, and QoS. A note on regulatory issues is also provided.
