8. ing a separate IP based connection Dynamic SCPC VMS is the engine that provides dSCPC bandwidth management of the space segment When a remote in the network has an application to transport over the satellite link SCPC technology provides the mechanism to automatically establish the SCPC carrier for that transmission SCPC resizes the carrier based on the increase or decrease in applications being sent over the link and it returns the remote to its home state once the application is completed SCPC yields true bandwidth on demand giving the user the low latency low jitter dedicated SCPC connection when it is needed for real time applications such as Voice over IP VolP video conference broadcasts and large applications file or image transfers IP Based Network Control All management operations and controls are accomplished using standard IP communications protocols VMS uses a proprietary interface to communicate with the IP enabled satellite modems that dramatically lowers monitor and control overhead compared to traditional SNMP interfaces The benefit is less bandwidth required and faster response to control and status messages Demand Mesh Connection Until now flexible and dynamic switching systems such as DAMA or multiple transmission link switches were bandwidth and equipment resource intensive due to A 2 x the constraints of traditional proprietary serial modem interfaces Switching multiple transmission links via s
