  • Patent number: 6674731
    Abstract: Transmission of TCP/IP data over a satellite link from a hub station to a plurality of remote units. The data, transmitted over the satellite link, uses the digital video broadcast (DVB) protocol. A field in the DVB header is used to indicate the location of the start of a new TCP/IP data packet within the DVB data. Use of a field in the DVB header to indicate the location of the start of a new TCP/IP data packet supports variable location of TCP/IP data within a DVB frame, and therefore more efficient use of the DVB bandwidth.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 20, 1999
    Date of Patent: January 6, 2004
    Assignee: Tachyon, Inc.
    Inventors: Steven H. Bradshaw, Bruce L. Carneal, Karl E. Moerder, Michael J. Theiss-Aird
