SHAPING THE FUTURE OF SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS
IP configuration
The following table is comparison between a generic router configuration and the
Newtec IP configuration:
Generic router configuration Newtec IP configuration
IP interface table:
This table contains the IP address
and subnet assignment for all
physical interfaces (e.g. native
Ethernet port) or virtual interfaces
(e.g. VLAN interface on Ethernet
port).
IP interface table:
This table contains the IP address and
subnet assignment for all physical (e.g.
native Ethernet port) or virtual (e.g. VLAN
interface on Ethernet port) interfaces.
For each local IP interface, you can also
define the remote IP subnet, that defines
the IP addresses that exist inside the
bridged IP satellite subnet, but in another
site (multiple remote sites may exist). This
remote IP range is relevant for IP bridging:
the modulator performs proxy ARP for
these IP addresses.
IP route table:
This table shows to which physical
or virtual interfaces different IP
ranges will be routed.
Ethernet RX route table:
This table shows to which satellite flow
(PID, ISI, AirMAC) different IP ranges will
be routed.
Demodulator RX route table:
This table shows to which physical or virtual
Ethernet interface (=VLAN) data from a
given satellite flow will be routed.
