  • Dynamic routing method for packet switched satellite communications
    Patent number: 6189044
    Abstract: A method of routing data packets in a communication network having one or more intelligent routing nodes. Each routing node maintains routing and address resolution information for all nodes within the routing node's domain. Upon detecting a data transmission from a source node to a destination node using a sub-optimal path. The routing node communicates updated routing information to the source node. The source node stores this information such that the subsequent data packets containing the same network address can be transmitted from the source node to the destination node in a single hop.
