Many Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) versions have been proposed and some are in use today for terrestrial wired networks over the Internet Protocol (IP), e.g. Tahoe, Reno and many others. TCP/IP is being studied to overcome its limitations within the satellite medium and to allow its use in hybrid terrestrial/satellite networks. Studies mainly concentrate on use of Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) constellations. However interest in use of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellations is increasing, especially for multimedia transmissions within the UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System). This paper aims at providing some TCP performance results in a satellite scenario, both with GEO and LEO satellites.
