METHOD FOR ROUTE PROPAGATION OVER A SATELLITE LINK, AND A SYSTEM THEREOF
First Claim
1. An apparatus to route an Internet Protocol (IP) datagram with a standard internet routing protocol over a space link, the apparatus comprising:
- a router stack configured to route according to the standard internet routing protocol comprising a current routing table comprising routing via the space link; and
a router adaptation layer configured to;
receive an Internet Protocol (IP) datagram comprising a destination,query the routing stack to determine whether the destination is linked via the space link, andforward the IP Datagram to a space link address when IP datagram'"'"'s destination is linked via the space link.
