INTRODUCTION
With an innovative architecture to support IP networking, an
IP-Module equipped CDM-570 and CDM-570L meets many
customer requirements for Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multi-
Point applications. When configured with the IP Module, the
modems provide advanced features for improving satellite link
efficiency in IP networks:
STANDARD FEATURES
• easyConnect™ for set up with minimal configuration
• Static IP routing for unicast and multicast
• Powerful network management via SNMP, Web, or Telnet
• IGMP v1 and v2
• Symmetric as well as asymmetric operation for maximum
bandwidth efficiency
• Point-to-Point or Point-to-Multi-Point configuration
OPTIONAL FEATURES
• Header Compression (IP/TCP and IP/UDP/RTP)
• Payload Compression
• 3x DES Data Encryption
• Quality of Service (QoS)
HEADER COMPRESSION OPTION
Configurable on a per route basis, header compression reduces
the required Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) bandwidth by
as much as 60%. Example: A G.729 voice codec, operating at
8 kbps, will occupy 32 kbps once encapsulated into IP framing
on a LAN. Using IP/UDP/RTP Header Compression, the same
traffic only needs 10.8 kbps total WAN satellite bandwidth to
cross the link. Normal Web/HTTP traffic can be reduced an
additional 10% via IP/TCP header compression.
PAYLOAD COMPRESSION OPTION
Compressing payload reduces both the data frame size and
satellite bandwidth required to transmit across the link.
Configurable on a per route basis, Payload Compression
optimizes traffic and reduces bandwidth up to 40%.
DATA ENCRYPTION OPTION
The IP Module provides 3xDES data encryption to prevent
unauthorized access to data over the satellite link, and is
configurable on a per route basis.
QUALITY OF SERVICE OPTION
The IP Module supports multi-level QoS to reduce jitter and
latency for real time traffic, provides priority treatment to
mission critical applications and allows non-critical traffic to use
the remaining bandwidth. Three modes are available,
Max/Priority, Min/Max and DiffServ.
• Max/Priority - Assign a maximum bandwidth that any traffic
flow can utilize combined with 8 levels of prioritization
• Min/Max - Set the minimum and maximum bandwidth for user-
defined classes of traffic to ensure that a certain level of
bandwidth is always applied
• DiffServ – Provide higher priority to some applications over
others; Industry-standard method of adding
network-wide QoS enabling seamless co-existence in
networks that already have DiffServ

VMS NETWORK & BANDWIDTH MANAGEMENT
Vipersat Networks’ VMS provides traditional monitor and control
functions more efficiently than other M & C protocols, and allows
enhanced capacity and bandwidth management capabilities for
the modems. VMS gives satellite service providers and
enterprise operators the ability to dynamically adjust bandwidth
based on application, load or schedule.
VMS also allows the modems to switch from shared to dedicated
mode. Inbound transmissions from remotes can be switched
from a shared Selective Time Division Multiple Access (STDMA)
mode to a dedicated Single Carrier Per Channel (SCPC)
connection manually or automatically, triggered by application or
load, or on a scheduled basis. This enables the network to more
effectively handle connection-oriented applications and reduces
both latency and network congestion. Through VMS, dynamic
point-to-point mesh connections can be established between
remotes. The result is an economical and flexible network,
enabling bandwidth to be shared and directed where it is
needed for any mix of IP voice, video or data traffic.
