...On a somewhat related note, it's always been my guess that very little net traffic, relatively speaking, is carried over satellites due to the distance and lag issues. Is this a foolish notion?i don't know figures (anyone?) but this tends to be the case. sats are great for broadcast relay, but suck for low latency bi-directional comms. however, they do make useful backups. how else are you going to get data back and forth across the planet when those fibers get sliced?
forgot to mention, they are definitely used for data, i just don't know how much. Mentat even provides a dedicated appliance with modified TCP like reliable stream delivery over sat links to accommodate the long, wide pipe characteristics of satellite transport. your typical TCP stack will severely under-utilize a sat link due to the latencies involved. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
