The Invention:
This method encodes and relays the original TCP flow information across HAIPE without any modifications while preserving the same level of security. It then reconstructs new TCP streams and encapsulates HAIPE-encrypted original TCP packets, which can be natively handled by PEPs and thus full TCP performance can be achieved. This method is also applicable to both IPv4 and IPv6
Benefits:
- This developed a method that can achieve the high performance offered by PEPs for HAIPE-encrypted TCP traffic across satellite links.
- This method encodes and relays the original TCP flow information across HAIPE without any modification to the existing HAIPE while preserving the same level of security.
- These new TCP streams can be natively handled by PEPs and thus the full TCP performance can be achieved. This method is also applicable to both IPv4 and IPv6.
Market Opportunity:
According to IBISWorld, the $8.5 Billion satellite telecommunications provider industry is expected to grow at an annual growth rate of 6.9% over each year from 2023 to 2028. Revenue is anticipated to continue to rise as demand for telecommunications remains high and new markets emerge. New satellites are expected to boost satellite operators' capacity, enabling them to increase coverage offerings and reduce prices to better combat external competition. Increased demand for ubiquitous communication services from consumers and businesses alike will continue as connectivity and broadband access become essential elements of social and commercial infrastructure.
