Advanced Bandwidth Management
Four Different Service Profiles
Dynamic Streaming•No Jitter And Rate Guarantees•Bandwidth Allocation is Backlog Based
Constant Bit Rate (CBR)•Low Jitter•Guaranteed Rate
Adaptive CBR•Medium Jitter•Guaranteed Minimum Rate•Predefined steps between Min and Max CIR•Enforced Maximum Rate
Committed Information Rate (CIR) with Best Effort•Medium Jitter•Guaranteed Minimum Rate•Best Effort between Min and Max CIR•Enforced Maximum Rate
Service profiles are set per remote – not per Inroute or network
Outbound and Inbound service profiles can be configured independently
One Inroute Group can support any or all of the various service profiles

Adaptive CBR Bandwidth Management
Each session configured with the following parameters
– Minimum CIR (Kbps)– Maximum Rate (Kbps)– Step Increment (Kbps)– Usage threshold (% of
utilization)– Idle Period (can be
eternal)

– Fixed “step” increments Flexibility Of Exceeding The Min Rate
When Bandwidth Is Available In The Network
Outroute CIR Allocates Resources Only When Outroute Data Is Backlogged.
Inroute CIR Minimum Is Allocated Independent Of Backlog.
Inroute CIR Session Is Released When Inactive For A Predefined Interval.
5H00000 04/18/23
CBR V CIR
Constant Bit Rate) A uniform transmission rate. For example, real-time voice and video traffic requires a CBR to lessen jitter. In ATM, CBR guarantees bandwidth for the peak cell rate of the application.
Committed Information Rate ) Guaranteed throughput on data transmission connection

Traffic Management -Priorities
Priorities Mapped Under the Three Bandwidth Allocation Grades in Both Directions
Outbound– Four Priority Queues– Transmission Based on Priority– Transmission Limiting Based on Priority
(Lowest Priority First) to Stay Within the Configured CIR
Inbound– Four Priority Queue Maintained– Transmission Queuing the Same as Existing
HN System
Flexible Rules For IP Priority Mapping– Source IP Address Range– Destination IP Address Range– TCP /UDP Port Number– Diffserv Code Point (DSCP) Bits

IP Bandwidth Conservation Features
IP Packet Payload Compression– V.44 Algorithm with lossless
compression– “Stateful” Compression Takes Advantage
of Redundancy Across TCP Packets Instead of Only Within a Single Packet
– Builds Dictionary On-the-Fly– Compression Ratios Up to 12:1– Can Be Enabled on an Individual PEP
Connection Header Compression
– TCP/IP header from 40 Bytes to about 10-12 bytes
– Generally reduces bandwidth by 15-20%– Multiple Types of IP Headers Compressed
Including:▪ IP Header UDP Header▪ RTP Header PBP Header
PEPV3.5– Performance Enhancement Proxy– Reduces handshaking

AIS – How It Works
Enables highest efficiency transport at best quality
Terminals Support Dynamic Inbound FEC Rate Change
– Ability to Switch FEC Rate 4/5 To Rate 2/3 To Rate ½ Burst to Burst Without Switching Inroutes
– Based On Signal Strength Feedback From the NOC
Terminals Support Alternate Symbol Rates– Ability to Change To Lower Symbol Rate Due
to Rain Fade– Requires Switching Inroutes
Additionally – Remotes support Uplink Power Control
