Abstract
Internet over satellites has been a hot research topic for some times. In addition to the development of the Internet applications and services over satellite, there are also significant developments in satellite communication systems and networks with Ka band and high throughput satellites (HTS). These developments enhance greatly the role of satellite in the global Internet infrastructure to allow the satellite to support broadband Internet and services beyond coverage of terrestrial networks, such as air, sea and space an addition to the land with most of the populations.
