Motivation
•Since
maritime units operate in a low bandwidth environment with varying
communications capabilities the efficient use of bandwidth
and effective exchange of information is essential
•While
different applications are converged onto a single network
they do not all have the same value. Traffic engineering (TE) can
be used to ensure that critical information is delivered
before less urgent traffic.
•In
order to evaluate potential TE services in maritime networks,
modeling provides a low cost alternative to implementation.
