Abstract	Foreword The role of the Radiocommunication Sector is to ensure the rational, equitable, efficient and economical use of the radio-frequency spectrum by all radiocommunication services, including satellite services, and carry out studies without limit of frequency range on the basis of which Recommendations are adopted.

ITU-R S.2148 3 1 Introduction This Report presents reference models of networks including a satellite link, to carry IP packets, followed by a description of the limitations of transmission control protocol (TCP) over satellite links, as well as, various methodologies to overcome the limitations. 2 Satellite system reference models 2.1 Point-to-point links Figure 1 provides a reference model for a network carrying IP packet transmissions. The network consists of a satellite link and associated terrestrial networks between two end-users. The satellite link is bidirectional and consists of link AB (from earth station A to earth station B with an information bit rate, R AB) and of link BA (from earth station B to earth station A with an information bit rate, R BA). The terrestrial networks can employ various data link layer …
