Abstract:
We describe some experiments which extend the DBS system, in particular, the DirecPC(TM) and DirecTV(TM) DBS, by using the PC with the satellite receiver as a gateway to connect networks together. We also discuss simple methods of receiving multimedia traffic from the multicast backbone (MBONE) [Cas94] over the satellite link, and distributing it, through this gateway, to end users.
