Hi Virus, I see from your personal info that your a Global Network Engineer. :D Do you know much about Satellite Comms?
I was envolved with preliminary testing of a satellite service provided here in Australia, by Optus. "Datareach" or "VSAT" they call it. We are looking at using this service to link remote UNIX systems controlling pump stations along a 600km pipeline, from the City of Perth out to the mining city of Kalgoorlie.
It all looks good and well, with the exception of netork latency. We would be required to overhaul all our messaging etc. to suit. Currently, comms for the system are over land-line DDS (Digital Data Services) and our software is currently structured to use many small packets, that would not be suitable with a network latency of upto 1800mS....
I did receive a very detailed guide from the service provider, detailing all the TCP/IP tweaks required for Windows
:rolleyes: ....... (Windows TCP/IP sucks the proverbial).
Any experience? You could be the man to answer some questions I may have in the future. :cool:
