ABSTRACT
Satellites are an attractive option for carrying internet and other

IP traffic to many locations across the globe where terrestrial options are
limited or price prohibitive. But data networking on satellite is faced with
overcoming the large latency and high bit error rate typical of satellite
communications as well as the asymmetric bandwidth design of most satellite
network.
Satellites are ideal for providing internet and private network

access over long distance and to remote locations. However the internet
protocols are not optimized for satellite conditions. So the throughput over
the satellite networks is restricted to only a fraction of available
bandwidth.Mentat , the leading supplies of TCP/IP to the computer industry
have overcome their limitations with the development of the Sky X product
family.
The Sky X system replaces TCP over satellite link with a

protocol optimized for the long latency, high loss and asymmetric bandwidth
conditions of the typical satellite communication. The Sky X family consists
of Sky X Gateway, Sky X Client/Server and Sky X OEM products.
Sky X products increase the performance of IP over satellite by

transparency replacing. The Sky X Gateway works by intercepting the TCP
connection from client and converting the data to Sky X protocol for
transmission over the satellite. The Sky X Client /Server product operates in
a similar manner except that the Sky X client software is installed on each
end users PC.Connection from applications running on the PC is intercepted
and send over the satellite using the Sky X protocol.

INTRODUCTION
Satellites are ideal for providing internet and private network

access over long distance and to remote locations. However the internet
protocols are not optimized for satellite conditions and consequently the
throughput over the satellite networks is restricted to only a fraction of
available bandwidth. We can over come these restrictions by using the Sky X
protocol.
The Sky X Gateway and Sky X Client/Servers systems replaces

TCP over satellite link with a protocol optimized for the long latency, high
loss and asymmetric bandwidth conditions of the typical satellite
communication. Adding the Sky X system to a satellite network allows users
to take full advantage of the available bandwidth. The Sky X Gateway
transparently enhances the performance of all users on a satellite network
without any modifications to the end clients and servers. The Sky X Client
and the Sky X Server enhance the performance of data transmissions over
satellites directly to end user PC’s, thereby increasing Web performance by 3
times or more and file transfer speeds by 10 to 100 times. The Sky X
solution is entirely transparent to end users, works with all TCP applications
and does not require any modifications to end client and servers.
Sky X products are the leading implementation of a class of

products known variously as protocol gateway TCP Performance Enhancing
Proxy (TCP/PEP) , or satellite spoofer.The Sky X gateways are available as
ready to install hardware solutions which can be added to any satellite
network.
The Sky X family consists of the Sky X Gateway, Sky x

Client/Server and the sky X OEM products. The Sky X Gateway is a
hardware solution designed for easy installation into any satellite network
and provides performance enhancement for all devices on the network. The
Sky X Client/Server provides performance enhancement to individual PC’s.
PERFORMANCE OF TCP OVER SATELLITE
Satellites are an attractive option for carrying Internet and other

IP traffic to many locations across the globe where terrestrial options are
limited or price prohibitive. However data networking over satellites is faced
with overcoming the latency and high bit error rates typical of satellite
communications, as well as the asymmetric bandwidth of most satellite
networks.
Communication over geosynchronous satellites, orbiting at an

altitude of 22,300 miles has round trip times of approximately 540 m/s, an
order of magnitude larger than terrestrial networks. The journey through the
atmosphere can also introduce bit errors into the data stream. These factors,
combined with backchannel bandwidth typically much smaller than that
available on the forward channel, reduce the effectiveness of TCP which is
optimized for short hops over low-loss cables or fiber.Eventhough the TCP is
very effective in the local network connected by using cables or optical fibers
by using its many features such as LPV6, LPsec and other leading-edge
functionality. Also it will work with real time operating systems.TCP is
designed for efficiency and high performance ,and optimized for maximum
throughput and the highest transaction speeds in local networks.
But the satellite conditions adversely interact with a number of

elements of the TCP architecture, including it s window sizing, congestion
avoidance algorithms, and data acknowledgment mechanisms, which
contribute to severely constrict the data throughput that can be achieved over
satellite links. Thus the advantages achieved by TCP in LAN’s are no longer
effective in the satellite link. So it is desirable to design a separate protocol
for communication through the satellite to eliminate the disadvantages of
using TCP over the satellite link. The adverse effects of using TCP over
satellite link in its various features are as follows:
Window size
TCP utilizes a sliding window mechanism to limit the amount of

data in flight. When the window becomes full, the sender stops transmitting
until it receives new acknowledgement. Over satellite networks, where
acknowledgements are slow to return, the TCP window size gradually sets a
hard limit on the maximum throughput rate. The minimum window size
needed to fully utilize an error-free link known as the “bandwidth-delay
product” is 100 KB for a T1 satellite link and 675 KB for a 10 Mbps link.
However many implementations of TCP are limited to maximum window
size of 64 KB and most operating systems use a default window size of only
8 KB , imposing a maximum throughput rate over a satellite link of only 128
Kbps per connection , regardless of the bandwidth available. So the high
bandwidth available in the network is no longer effective, thus the data
availability in a client is restricted to a small fraction of the available
bandwidth. Thus the window sizing mechanism of the TCP limits the rate of
flow of data through satellite link.
Data Acknowledgements
The simple, heuristic data acknowledgment scheme used by

TCP does not adapt well to long latency or highly asymmetric bandwidth
conditions. To provide reliable data transmission, the TCP receiver constantly
sends acknowledgments back to the sender. The sender does not assume that
any data is lost or corrupted until a multiple of the round-trip time has passed
without receiving an acknowledgment. This algorithm does not respond well
over satellite networks where the round-trip time is long and error rates can
be high. Further, this constant stream of acknowledgments wastes precious
back channel bandwidth and if the back channel is small, the return of the
acknowledgments to the sender can become the system bottleneck. The
acknowledgements and error messages will always dominate the data transfer
and the rate of flow reduces very much.
Congestion Avoidance
In order to avoid the possibility of congestive network

meltdown, TCP usually assumes that all data loss is caused by congestion and
responds to this by reducing the transmission rate. However, over satellite
links, TCP misinterprets the long round-trip time and bit errors as congestion
and responds inappropriately. Similarly, the TCP "Slow Start" algorithm,
which over the terrestrial infrastructure prevents new connections from
flooding an already congested network, forces an excessively long ramp-up
period for each new connection over satellite. While these congestion
avoidance mechanisms are vital in routed environments, they are ill-suited to
single-path satellite links.
So the congestion avoidance mechanisms used by TCP is also

not suited for the satellite link since it reduces the data flow through the
network and thus reduces the overall rate of data transfer.
SKY X SYSTEM
Sky X Technology Overcomes TCP Performance Limitations
Sky X products increase the performance of IP over satellite

through a combination of protocol connection-splitting, data compression,
and Web pre-fetching, while remaining entirely transparent to end users. The
Sky X gateway works by transparently replacing TCP connections from the
client and converting the data to Xpress Transport protocol (XTP) for the hop
over the satellite link which is the protocol optimized for satellite conditions.
Sky X Gateway Operation
The Sky X gateway works by intercepting the TCP connection

from the client and converting the data to the Xpress Transport Protocol
(XTP) for transmission over the satellite. The Sky X gateway on the opposite
side of the satellite link translates the data back to TCP for communication
with the server. This architecture offers vastly improved performance while
remaining entirely transparent to the end user and fully compactable with the
internet infrastructure. No changes are required to the client or server and all
applications continue to function without modification. This architecture is
also referred to as TCP Performance Enhancing Proxy (TCP-PEP) and is
compactable with IETF RFC 3135.
The Sky X gateway splits the single TCP connection into three
separate components. A TCP connection on the remote side between the
client and Sky X gateway, an XTP connection involving Sky X protocol over
the satellite between the two Sky X gateways and a TCP connection between
the opposite Sky X gateway and server.
XTP is a reliable, transport-layer protocol specifically designed

to operate efficiently over high-speed networks and offers a level of
performance not possible with TCP on long latency, high loss satellite links.
XTP is an open standard developed by the XTP Forum, a non-profit
organization composed of networking protocol researchers, implementers,
and user organizations.
By splitting the end-to-end TCP connection, the segment over the

satellite can take advantage of the performance of XTP. TCP congestion
avoidance mechanisms remain in place over the terrestrial connections to
protect the stability of the routed network. The two Sky X gateways pass
control data between each other, allowing the Sky X gateway on the opposite
side of the satellite to appear to be the original source or destination device.
This architecture maintains full TCP reliability and end-to-end flow control.
Web Pre-Fetch functionality further enhances the performance of

HTTP transfers over the satellite link by pro-actively retrieving the many
embedded objects on a Web page along with the requested HTML page. The
Sky X system delivers the Web objects to the Sky X gateway on the client
side of the satellite link where they can be served locally when requested by
the browser, avoiding the satellite delay.
The Sky X gateway XR10, XH45, and XH155 are available as

ready-to-install hardware solutions which can be added to any satellite
network. The Sky X Client software installs directly on the PCs of end-users
and works in conjunction with a Sky X Server SS10 or SS45 hardware unit
located at the network hub. Mentat also licenses the Sky X gateway
technology in software source code form for integration with satellite
modems, VSATs, routers, caching systems, or any other satellite connectivity
equipment. The Sky X gateway can also be used in multilink configurations
where a single Sky X gateway hub unit enhances the performance of multiple
separate outbound links from a single uplink facility.
The Sky X Client / Server product operates similarly to

the Sky X gateway except the Sky X Client software is installed directly onto
the client PC. Connections from applications running on the PC are
intercepted and sent over the satellite using Sky X protocol. At the network
hub, a Sky X Server establishes a TCP connection with the destination server.
SKY X CLIENT/SERVER
The Sky X Client / Server increases the throughput and

efficiency of network access over satellites by transparently replacing TCP
with the Xpress Transport Protocol (XTP) for the satellite segment of the
connection. Combined with data compression and Web-specific
enhancements, the Sky X system provides maximum performance under the
long latency, high loss, and asymmetric bandwidth conditions typical of
satellite communications.
The sky X client/server system enhances the performance of the

internet and private network access over satellite links. The sky X client
software installed on the PC’s of the end user, works in conjunction with a
sky X server hardware unit located at the network hub. Through the use of a
unique connection splitting and protocol –translation system, the sky X
client/server system overcomes the deficiencies of TCP/IP in satellite –based
networks while remaining entirely transparent to end-user applications. The
sky X client is ideal for use with any satellite receiver card or set –top box
Sky X Client / Sky X Server Operation
The Sky X Client / Server increases the throughput and

efficiency of network access over satellites by transparently replacing TCP
with the Xpress Transport Protocol (XTP) for the satellite segment of the
connection. Combined with data compression and Web-specific
enhancements, the Sky X system provides maximum performance under the
long latency, high loss, and asymmetric bandwidth conditions typical of
satellite communications.
The Sky X Client, installed on Microsoft Windows-based

computers, transparently intercepts TCP connections from applications
running on the PC and transmits the data over the satellite link using XTP.
The Sky X Server, installed at the hub of the satellite network, establishes a
new TCP connection for communication with any device on the local
network or over the Internet. Through this unique, patented architecture, the
Sky X Client / Server system requires no proxy settings while providing
performance enhancement for all TCP applications.
The Sky X Server is available in two models namely the SS10

and SS45. The SS10 provides Sky X enhancement for links of up to 10 Mbps
while the SS45 provides Sky X enhancement for links of up to 45 Mbps.
SKY X MULTICAST FAN-OUT
Computer networking traditionally relies on unicast data transfers

which establish point-to-point connections between devices. In situations
where the same data is transferred to multiple users, the server must send a
copy of the file to each recipient independently. This process is both time
consuming and wastes much of the bandwidth resources.
In contrast, multicast technology makes it possible for multiple

recipients to receive a single data stream. This can be an especially powerful
tool for satellite networks or similar architectures where the multicast transfer
can take advantage of an underlying link layer broadcast media.
Unfortunately, the only multicast capability built into the Internet Protocol is
a UDP-based, unreliable, best-effort service that is only appropriate for real-
time streaming applications such as event broadcasting. Because UDP-based
IP multicast does not include any mechanisms for detection and
retransmission of lost or corrupted data and does not resequence any packets
that arrive out of order, IP multicast is not suitable for file downloads and
other data transfer applications. Sky X Multicast Fan-Out offers a simple
and convenient solution for reliable multicast over wide area networks. By
taking advantage of reliable multicast functionality built directly into XTP,
the open-standard transport-layer protocol used by the Sky X Gateway to
transfer data over the WAN link, the Sky X Gateway provides fast, efficient,
fully reliable multicast file transfers. Any data that is lost or corrupted is
retransmitted, providing transfer reliability and rendering special FEC
software unnecessary.
The Sky X multicast fanout, an integral component of the Sky X

gateway, transparently converts TCP unicast connections into reliable
multicast transfers. Through the use of common TCP based applications such
as FTP, the Sky X gateway can deliver a file to every remote location across
a wide area network with only a single multicast transfer. Sky X multicast
fanout is built on the industry leading Sky X gateway IP over satellite
performance enhancement system. Because the Sky X multicast fanout
process is transparent to the end devices , any machine can originate or
receive the multicast transfer regardless of operating system and without
requiring the installation of any specialized multicast software.
By combining this reliable multicast transmission technology

with a transparent fanout functionality which allows any TCP connection to
be converted into a multicast transfer, the Sky X gateway marries the power
of multicasting with the convenience of using FTP or any other TCP-based
application. In addition to the multicast benefits themselves, the Sky X
gateway includes on-the-fly data compression which further increases
transfer speeds for compressible data by up to 5 times. Sky X multicast
fanout functionality is ideal for file transfers, cache replication, video file
distribution, content delivery networks, database replication, and any other
distribution of data or files to multiple users over a satellite link or other wide
area network.
SKY X PERFORMANCE
The performance benefits of the sky X gateway depend on many

factors including the bandwidth, delay, asymmetry and bit error rate of the
link, the number of simultaneous connections, the compressibility of the data
and the behavior of the application itself. Below are data for two typical
applications across a range of conditions
File Transfers
The following file transfer tests illustrate the benefits of Sky X

performance enhancement for different windows sizes, link band-widths,
round-trip times, and bit error rates. Users should expect similar results for
any large, single-connection data transfer. Each graph shows Sky X
enhancement for three cases: no compression, highly compressible text, and
Corpus benchmark compressibility.
Window Size and Link Speed vs. Throughput
Without performance enhancement, a default window size of 8

KB limits TCP throughput to less than 100 Kbps over satellite. As the graph
on the left illustrates, even on server operating systems using a 32 KB
window, TCP is only able to reach a through-put of 440 Kbps. Sky X
gateway overcomes this limitation, taking full advantage of the available
bandwidth regardless of the window size of the client or server. For
compressible data, Sky X can provide throughput rates far greater than the
link bandwidth.
Round-Trip Delay vs. Throughput
The Sky X gateway system removes the dependency of TCP on

the round-trip time of the link. The figure below shows the measured
throughput on an error-free, 10 Mbps link. These results illustrate that TCP
throughput drops rapidly as the round-trip time increases. In contrast, Sky X
is able to maintain full usage of the link regardless of the round-trip time. For
compressible text, Sky X consistently delivers throughput rates greater than
the actual bandwidth.
Bit Error Rate vs. Throughput
The Sky X system overcomes the high sensitivity of TCP to the

bit error rate of the link. The graph given below shows the throughput as a
function of the bit error rate for a 10 Mbps satellite link using a 1 MB TCP
window. Even at low error rates, TCP is able to deliver only 1.5 Mbps, while
at an error rate of 1x10-5, TCP's throughput drops to less than 0.03 Mbps.
Sky X fully saturates the link at low error rates and even at an error rate of
1x10-5, achieves 5.1 Mbps without compression and up to 15.8 Mbps for
compressible data.
Web Performance
Unlike file transfers which typically consist of a single, large

download, Web traffic is characterized by large numbers of short
connections. Mentat's innovative Fast Start feature specifically optimizes
Web performance by reducing time required to establish new connection. The
Web stone HTTP benchmark shows that for an 8 Mbps error-free link, the
average response time for a mixture of 50 simultaneous web connections
using the sky X gateway is between 0.7 and 1.1 seconds depending on the
compressibility of the data, compared to 3.0 seconds with TCP.
Other Applications
Performance benefits from applications other than Web and file

transfers depend on the characteristics of the application, but will typically
fall between these two extremes. Sky X gateway has been tested by many
organizations and various independent third parties for a wide variety of
different conditions and has been found satisfactory .Sky X gateway can also
simulate link speed bit error rate and delay conditions of the existing system
on the sky X gateway test network
SKY X PROTOCOL DESIGN
At the heart of the Sky X system is the Sky X protocol,

optimized to provide maximum throughput for satellite networks. The Sky X
protocol is designed to respond efficiently to typical satellite latency, bit
errors and asymmetric bandwidth conditions and to take advantage of
optimizations possible on a single-path link with known bandwidth. The Sky
X gateway combines protocol, application and system level enhancements to
provide maximum throughput for satellite networks.
Efficient Acknowledgment Algorithm
The Sky X Protocol utilizes a highly efficient selective

retransmission algorithm for the acknowledgment of data. Because there is
only a single path over the satellite with no intermediate routing, any gaps in
the packet sequence can be assumed to be data loss due to corruption rather
than network congestion. The receiving Sky X gateway can immediately
request and receive retransmission of the missing data from the transmitting
Sky X gateway. Because the Sky X Protocol does not use acknowledgments
as the primary means of identifying lost data, it requires only infrequent
acknowledgments to confirm data arrival and clear buffers. In contrast, TCP
sends a constant stream of acknowledgments over the reverse channel.
The sky X Protocol reduces back channel usage by 75% for Web
traffic and up to 99% for file transfers, thereby dramatically increasing the
performance of networks where limited back channel bandwidth is the
system bottleneck.
Dynamic Window Sizing
The large Sky X Protocol window removes the dependency of

the network on the bandwidth-delay product, allowing high throughput
independent of the TCP window size of the end nodes. The Sky X Protocol
dynamically adjusts the window size based on the link bandwidth, delay, and
number of simultaneous connections to optimize utilization of the bandwidth.
Rate Control
TCP uses Slow Start and Congestion Avoidance algorithms to

determine a safe transmission rate based on how quickly acknowledgments
return. This wastes available bandwidth when it transmits at too low a rate,
and causes unnecessary retransmissions when it transmits at a rate higher
than the bandwidth of the link. Instead, the Sky X gateway uses a rate control
mechanism to explicitly set the transmission rate to exactly the bandwidth of
the link, thereby providing the maximum throughput possible at all times.
Web Prefetch
The Sky X system further enhances the performance of HTTP

over the satellite link by proactively retrieving the many embedded objects
on the web page along with requested HTML page. The Sky X system
delivers the web objects to the client side of the satellite link where they can
be served locally when requested by the browser ,there by avoiding satellite
delay.
Fast Start Web Acceleration
In addition to TCP performance enhancement, Sky X products

include HTTP specific optimizations to further accelerate web downloads.
Fast Start saves one full round trip time for each new web connection by
reducing the handshaking required to establish each new HTTP connection.
Data Compression
Integrated on-the-fly data compression functionality, offering

lossless compression ratios of up to 5:1, increase4s the amount of data that
can be sent over the link.
Sky X Multicast Fan-Out
The Sky X FTP multicast facility is designed to provide multicast

fan-out functionality tailored specifically for use with FTP, combining the
power of multicasting with the convenience of the well-known and
ubiquitous FTP utility. The unique Sky X multicast Fan-Out facility can
transparently convert a TCP unicast connection into a reliable multicast
transfer .Using standard file transfer applications such a FTP the Sky X
gateway can deliver a copy of a file to every remote site with only a single
transfer.
SKY X OEM (ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT

MANUFACTURER)
Mentat ( U.S company) licenses its Sky X gateway

technology in software source code form for OEM integration into satellite
modems, VSAT’s, routers, cache or any other satellite networking
equipment. The Sky X OEM software is available for various computer and
real time operating systems.
CONCLUSION
The sky X gateway is the leading solution for overcoming the

limitations of TCP/IP over satellite. ISP’s, corporations, governments, and
military organizations around the world rely on sky X gateway to enhance the
performance of their satellite networks.
Testing by independent third parties including INTELSAT and

NASA confirms that the sky X Gateway dramatically improves performance
for the internet and private access over satellite networks.
The world is reducing to a global village by the use of satellite

communication and so the improvement in the rate of information
interchange through satellite is a must and thus sky X technology becomes
unavoidable.
