Method and system for hosting commercially-derived packet routers on satellite payloads

摘要

The system contains an RF demodulator. A packet aggregation switching device is in communication with the RF demodulator. At least one packet processing engine is in communication with the RF demodulator. The packet aggregation switching device controls communication between the RF demodulator and the packet processing engine. An RF modulator may also be in communication with the packet processing engine along an egress path. The packet aggregation switching device may output traffic into the egress path.
