Satellite networks have been deployed with success by several companies in order to allow global broadband access to highly mobile nodes. It is well known that the standard transport protocol, TCP, is not well suited for data transport over satellite links that are characterized by a relatively high bit error rate (BER) and a long propagation delay.
