A Traffic Flow Steering Algorithm for Hybrid Terrestrial-Satellite Backhaul Network

Published: 11 August 2022 Publication History

Abstract

In this paper, we proposed a traffic flow steering algorithm for a hybrid terrestrial-satellite backhaul network to minimize network congestion and improve overall network throughput. To that end, we categorize data flows as delay tolerant or delay-sensitive based on the delay-tolerant level. Considering a predetermined threshold, if a potential overloaded backhaul link is found the delay-tolerant flows are steered through a secondary satellite link and the delay-sensitive flows are routed through the primary link. The simulation result shows that the proposed algorithm can increase the network throughput by distributing the load among the backhaul links.
