IPSAT BoF description


The goal of the IPSAT BoF is to discuss the problem of supporting
the Internet Protocol (IP) over GEO satellite links.
The potential working group will prepare a framework and requirements document 
describing a typical satellite infrastructure and how an IP based network
might be architected to utilize this infrastructure. It will also address the 
service interface between IP and the satellite link level (DVB or other).

The following topics will be discussed: 
IP over DVB encapsulation (IPv6 and IPv4), MAC addressing issues, ARP, 
multicast, mapping of IP services on link layer elements.
