Abstract :
Current DVB-RCS systems present an IPv4-interface and no commercial RCS systems have yet offered IPv6 support. This paper explores encapsulation issues for next generation DVB-RCS terminals that will support IPv6. It assess two alternatives: the Unidirectional Lightweight Encapsulation (ULE) and the Generic Stream Encapsulation (GSE). These are shown to improve efficiency and performance and have been evaluated within a regenerative satellite platform test bed.
