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.
