Network and Bandwidth Management
The Vipersat network solution integrates this advanced modem/router with the
powerful network management tool, the Vipersat Management System (VMS).
The VMS provides for traditional monitor and control of the CDM-570/570L
modem, but more than just an M&C package, the VMS offers unique bandwidth
management that is ideal for IP-switched networks. Short data transfers are typi-
cally executed using a shared Selective Time Division Multiple Access
(STDMA) channel, and when large amounts of data transfer, voice, and/or
video communications are needed, modems can be automatically switched to a
dedicated SCPC channel.
Dynamic SCPC (dSCPC)
The VMS allows for dynamic point-to-point mesh connections to be established
between remotes. Traffic inbounds from remotes can be switched: manually or
automatically, application or load triggered, or scheduled, from shared STDMA
(burst) mode, to a dedicated SCPC connection. Once the session is completed,
the remote is automatically switched back to shared mode.
While in SCPC mode, the VMS provides for dynamic bandwidth allocation,
automatically altering the bandwidth based on traffic conditions. This effec-
tively enables the network to better handle connection oriented applications and
reduce network congestion, jitter, and latency.
The result is an economical and flexible network with bandwidth shared and
directed where it is needed for any mix of IP voice, video, and data traffic.
