Abstract
To overcome the problems caused by conventional ground routing protocols applied in the satellite communication network, a novel switching architecture is proposed. The proposed architecture employs layer-2 switching for same port and IP routing for different ports. Furthermore, the onboard IP switching process is well designed. OPNET is applied to build a satellite network simulation environment based on onboard IP switching. Simulation results demonstrate that the switching architecture meets the requirements of onboard IP data packet switching for both inter-beam, between beams and between satellites.
