“…The test bed architectures designed to support the laboratory and field evaluations consisted of the IRIS NGGS network 3 According to Cisco's NGGS design, user terminals that choose a "premium service" have a Service Level Agreement (SLA) with a specified CIR while "Best Effort" (BE) users have no service guarantees and no CIR. Terminals with premium service may choose P0, P1, P2 or P3 service grades.…”

“…Transponded ("bent-pipe") satellites have carried Internet traffic for many years, however, satellites with on-board processing (OBP) and regenerative capabilities for broadband commercial communications have only recently become available [3]. Although some of these satellites provide packet-switching functions, an IP router as a communications network node in space did not exist until IRIS.…”

The Internet Protocol Routing in Space (IRIS) was developed by an industry group, under the auspices of the United States Department of Defense 1 as a Joint Capability Technology Demonstration (JCTD). The primary goal of the IRIS JCTD is to assess the network capability and operational utility of an IP router in space. This paper discusses the results obtained from laboratory and field tests which were specifically designed to evaluate the functionality and performance. Most of the results were obtained during a recent demonstration using 3 ground terminals operating with the IRIS payload on-board INTELSAT-14 (IS-14). Emphasis is given to application and network performance resulting from the end-to-end Quality of Service and Bandwidth on Demand capabilities of IRIS.
