Satellite Link Accelerator
This firmware upgrade features congestion control and other acceleration tools to improve satellite connectivity over wide area networks (WANs). The SkyX version 5.0 firmware package uses the military space communication protocol standards transport protocol as an alternative to the xpress transport protocol (XTP) to transmit data over WAN links. The firmware optimizes data transfers via XTP over variable bandwidth conditions such as bandwidth on demand, full mesh and shared links. An XTP congestion control feature adjusts transmission rates automatically and dynamically to match changing bandwidth conditions. For more information, visit www.mentat.com.
