Abstract
This chapter focuses on the requirements and design of the protocol software which is a vital part of the software system needed to support reliable data communications in VSAT networks. It will first discuss the general customer environment and data communications requirements. Then, the services provided by a VSAT network in order to meet these requirements are presented in terms of a standard reference model which is briefly reviewed. The protocol software for VSAT networks is discussed in terms of its contribution to meeting the overall requirements of the network. A typical hardware platform for a remote VSAT unit and the other software required by the protocol software and the network are described. An example of a data link protocol which was designed for a VSAT network and the design of the software which implements that protocol concludes the chapter.
