7. Abstract
Satellites are attractive option for carrying internet and other IP traffic to many locations
across the globe where terrestrial options are limited or [censored] 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, 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 communica-
tion. 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 in-
stalled 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
In This Chapter,Discuss about the general things related with the Sky X Technology.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 overcome these restrictions by using the Sky X protocol.
In section 1.1 discuss the Why sky x Technology,The Performance Of Tcp Over Satellite
are explain in section 1.2.
1.1 Why sky x Technology ?
• Internet protocols(TCP/IP) are not optimized for satellite conditions so the throughput
over the satellite networks decreases to only a fraction of available bandwidth.
• Satellites are ideal for providing internet & private network over long distance.
• The satellite conditions adversely interact with a number of elements of the TCP
architecture, including its window sizing, congestion avoidance algorithms & data ac-
knowledgment mechanisms.
• Thus the advantages achieved by TCP in LAN’s are no longer effective in the satellite
link. So it was desirable to design a separate protocol for communication through the
satellite to eliminate the disadvantages of using TCP over satellite.
Thus We need sky x technology.

1.2 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 net-
working 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 con-
nected 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 LANs 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:
1.2.1 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
SSBT’s College of Engineering and Technology, Bambhori, Jalgaon (MS) 3

10. 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. The simple,
heuristic data acknowledgment scheme used by TCP does not adapt well to long latency
or highly asymmetric bandwidth conditions. 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.
1.2.2 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.
1.3 Summary
In This Chapter,Discuss Why sky x Technology important,The Performance Of Tcp Over
Satellite in that to avoid the possibility of congestive network meltdown, TCP usually as-
sumes that all data loss is caused by congestion and responds to this by reducing the trans-
mission rate.Next chapter Sky X System.

ogy Overcomes TCP Performance Limitations,The Sky X Gateway Operation are explain in

2.1 Sky X Technology Overcomes TCP Performance
Limitations
Sky X products increase the performance of IP over satellite through a combination of pro-
tocol connection-splitting, data compression, and Web pre-fetching, while remaining entirely
transparent to end users. The Sky X gateway works by transparently replacing TCP con-
nections 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.

12. 2.2 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.

13. Chapter 3
Sky X Protocol Design
In previous Chapter,Discuss about the general things related with the Sky X System. 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.
In this Chapter,Discuss about the Sky X Protocol Design.In section 3.1 discuss the Efficient
Acknowledgment Algorithm,Dynamic Window Sizing are explain in section 3.2.
3.1 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. 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.
3.2 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.
SSBT’s College of Engineering and Technology, Bambhori, Jalgaon (MS) 7

14. 3.2.1 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.
3.2.2 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 Protocol dynamically adjusts the window size based on the link
bandwidth, delay, and number of simultaneous connections to optimize utilization of the
bandwidth. 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.
3.2.3 Fast Start Web Acceleration
In addition to TCP performance enhancement, Sky X products include HTTP specific op-
timizations 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.
3.2.4 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.
3.3 Summary
In This Chapter,Discuss about the Sky X Protocol Design.In this discuss the Efficient Ac-
knowledgment Algorithm,Dynamic Window Sizing.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. Next chapter is Sky X Working.

In this Chapter,Discuss about the Sky X Working.In section 4.1 discuss the Xpress Trans-
port Protocol,Sky X Gateway are explain in section 4.2.
Sky X Working is Mainly Depend on Two components:
• XTP
• X-Gateway
4.1 Xpress Transport Protocol
• Xpress Transport Protocol (XTP) is a transport layer protocol for high-speed networks
promoted by the XTP Forum developed to replace TCP.
• XTP provides protocol options for error control, flow control, and multicast mode.
Instead of separate protocols for each type of communication, XTP controls packet
exchange patterns to produce different models.
4.2 Sky X Gateway
• The Sky X gateways works by replacing TCP connections from the client & converting
the data to Xpress Transport protocol (XTP).

Sky X Performance
In previous Chapter,Discuss about the general things related with the Sky X Working.XTP
provides protocol options for error control, flow control, and multicast mode. Instead of
separate protocols for each type of communication, XTP controls packet exchange patterns
to produce different models.
In this Chapter,Discuss about the Sky X Performance. In section 5.1 discuss the Window
Size and Link Speed vs. Throughput,Round-Trip Delay vs. Throughput are explain in
section 5.2In section 5.3 discuss the Bit Error Rate vs. Throughput,Web Performance are
explain in section 5.4
5.1 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.
Figure 5.1: Sky X Accelator
SSBT’s College of Engineering and Technology, Bambhori, Jalgaon (MS) 11

18. 5.2 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.
5.3 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 110-5, TCPs 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
110-5, achieves 5.1 Mbps without compression and up to 15.8 Mbps for compressible data.
5.4 Web Performance
Unlike file transfers which typically consist of a single, large download, Web traffic is char-
acterized by large numbers of short connections. Mentats innovative Fast Start feature
specifically optimizes Web performance by reducing time required to establish new connec-
tion. Sky X fully saturates the link at low error rates and even at an error rate of 110-5,
achieves 5.1 Mbps without compression and up to 15.8 Mbps for compressible data. 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.

22. Conclusion
The sky X gateway is the leading solution for overcoming the limitations of TCP/IP over
satellite. ISPs, 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.
