Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus for user mobility in a system with time-varying user-satellite and satellite-ground Ethernet links are disclosed. In some embodiments, A method for user mobility in a satellite system comprises transmitting, by a user device, a first signal comprising internet protocol (IP) data packets encapsulated in an Ethernet frame to a satellite. The method further comprises transmitting, by the satellite, a second signal comprising the IP data packets encapsulated in the Ethernet frame to a ground modem of a ground terminal. Further, the method comprises transmitting, by the ground modem, a third signal comprising the IP data packets encapsulated in the Ethernet frame to a default gateway, which is associated with user device, of a customer ground location via a virtual Ethernet switch. The virtual Ethernet switch utilizes one of a layer two (L2) overlay or a wide area network (WAN) L2 virtual private network (VPN) implementation.

Abstract: A system includes a first MODEM configured to generate a first data packet (including a first virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) instance identifier associated with a first service, a first user group, or both) based on a first radio-frequency (RF) signal and a second MODEM configured to generate a second data packet (including a second VRF instance identifier associated with a second service, a second user group, or both) based on a second RF signal. The system includes a network device configured to receive the first data packet, transmit a first packet (including a first header that includes a first indicator associated with a first VRF instance) to a first device via a network, receive the second data packet, and transmit a second packet (including a second header that includes a second indicator associated with a second VRF instance) to a second device via the network.

Abstract: A vehicle having multiple isolated fluid circuits configured to be filled through a common fill port includes a first fluid circuit disposed within the vehicle, the first fluid circuit having a first fill port, a second fluid circuit disposed within the vehicle, and a conduit defining a fluid passageway between the first fluid circuit and second fluid circuit, the conduit including a valve. The valve is configured such that the first and second fluid circuits are fluidly coupled via the passageway when the valve is open, and are fluidly isolated when the valve is closed.
