Abstract(in English) In this paper, we propose a novel architecture of a proxy mechanism for multiple TCP connections over the satellite Internet, which is provided by GEO (Geostationary Earth Orbit) satellites. The proposed architecture splits the TCP connection between the sender and receiver hosts into two terrestrial connections and one satellite connection. We then adopt SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol) as a transport-layer protocol to multiplex TCP connections on the satellite link, to effectively use its capacity. We further propose a congestion control mechanism for the satellite SCTP connection, which is based on the congestion control mechanism of TCP Vegas. We evaluate the performance of the proposed mechanism through numerical results of simulation experiments, and confirm that the proposed mechanism can improve the utilization of the satellite link and the fairness among multiplexed TCP connections, when compared with the traditional mechanisms.
