IP Networking over Next-Generation Satellite Systems

With its broadcasting capabilities and unique coverage, satellite systems have the potential to bridge significant gaps in global connectivity and can play an important role in the shaping of the next-generation Internet. This book highlights the very latest research output of several EU satellite-related projects and addresses many unresolved issues in next-generation satellite systems, such as efficient deployment of IPv6 over satellites, working with WLAN and WiMax, QoS provisioning over multi-segment networks (including satellite networks), multicast networks and security.
