Abstract :
ATM is currently considered the primary WAN technology with Internet protocols providing the routing and transport requirements. Another WAN technology being considered is packet over SONET. Using the Advanced Communication Technology Satellite, NASA has demonstrated and is experimenting with these technologies. This article summarizes some of the major completed and ongoing experiments and demonstrations performed using commercial standard protocols such as ATM and TCP/IP over broadband satellite networks
