Abstract
An analysis of the possibilities of usage of VSAT networks for the interconnection of TCP/IP based LANs is performed. A general feasibility overview of TCP/IP through satellite is presented, stressing on the main inconveniences and technical problems of such arrangement. A comparative study between low rate (up to 19.2 kbps) VSAT networks and other low capacity data networks (such as X.25) is carried out. This study is based upon measurements performed by Telefonica I+D on the Hughes ISBN VSAT system operated by Telefonica de Espana
