ABSTRACT: This paper
presents the evaluation performance of a hybrid satellite constellation network
which provides internet access based Transport Control Protocol (TCP). The
evaluated satellite network uses the constellation topology operating on Low
Earth Orbit (LEO). The COMMStellationTM satellite system implemented
using network simulator 2 (NS-2). In this paper, we modified a congestion
window control based on TCP Westwood. The results show that the proposed
technique reduces end-to-end (E2E) delay of transmitting packets. Hence the
number of retransmission packets reduced.
