SkipWare

SCPS-Based Satellite Acceleration Technology

As a complement to its core WAN optimization technologies, Riverbed Technology offers a satellite-specific, TCP-layer acceleration technology in SkipWare®. SkipWare is the Riverbed® commercial implementation of the Space Communication Protocol Standard, and is fully compliant with international standards for SCPS and Mil-Std-2045-4400 (Transport Protocol for High-Stress, Bandwidth Constrained Networks). SkipWare’s extensions to TCP allow it to overcome performance loss associated with high bit error ratios and propagation delays, and act as a catalyst to Riverbed core cross-layer WAN optimization technologies. When run in conjunction with the Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS®), SkipWare can improve Steelhead® appliance performance by 30x or more over the satellite channel, depending on the network’s environmental and operational conditions. The SkipWare feature set includes:

  • High bandwidth efficiency over latencies up to 3000 ms (double hop and higher)
  • Highly loss-tolerant with rapid recovery from packet loss (SNACK and SACK)
  • Multiple operating modes for use in fixed and dynamic bandwidth satcom networks (SCPC, FDMA, TDMA, DVB)
  • High degree of cross-vendor interoperability, fully interoperable with standard TCP
  • Layer-4 support for IPv6
  • Support for speeds up to 155 Mbps bidirectional
