Network accelerator for controlled long delay links
First Claim
1. A satellite communication system comprising:
- a user access point; and
a network access point coupled to the user access point via a satellite communication link having a forward channel and a return channel, the network access point to;
store usage history associated with a first uniform resource locator (URL), wherein the usage history is based on resources of the return channel that were used following previous requests for the first URL;
receive a request for a second URL from the user access point;
determine that the second URL matches the first URL; and
in response to the determination, allocate resources of the return channel for the user access point based on the stored usage history associated with the first URL.

Abstract
A communication system for providing network access over a shared communication link is disclosed. The communication system includes a user access point, a network access point and a communications link. The user access point is coupled to one or more user terminals that access a remote network. The network access point is coupled to the remote network. The communications link couples the user access point and the network access point. The communications link is at least partially controlled by the network access point, which monitors information passed between the remote network and the user access point to create an estimate of future usage of the communications link by the user access point based on the information. The network access point allocates communications link resources for the user access point based on the estimate.

14. A method comprising:
-
storing usage history associated with a first uniform resource locator (URL), wherein the usage history is based on resources of a return channel of a satellite communication link that were used following previous requests for the first URL; receiving a request for a second URL from a user access point via the return channel; determining that the second URL matches the first URL; and in response to the determination, allocating resources of the return channel for the user access point based on the stored usage history associated with the first URL. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
