A system and method for supporting Internet Protocol (IP) Multicast in mesh TDMA satellite networks using a centralized route server architecture, which conserves link bandwidth and minimizes delay. Individual satellite terminals (10, 20) performs forwarding of multicast IP traffic to destination terminals based on information provided by the route server (40). Multicast routing protocols need to be supported only at the route server, thus minimizing the CPU and memory resources required at the end terminals. Channel capacity for multicast traffic can be statically or dynamically assigned and takes full advantage of the broadcast nature of the medium.

La présente invention concerne un système et un procédé permettant d'assurer une multidiffusion à protocole Internet (IP) sur des réseaux satellitaires maillés à accès multiple par répartition dans le temps (time division multiple access: TDMA), qui mettent en oeuvre une architecture de serveur de routage centralisé, permettant de conserver une bande passante de liaison et de minimiser le retard. Des terminaux satellitaires individuels réalisent le réacheminement d'un trafic IP de multidiffusion en direction de terminaux de destination, sur la base d'informations fournies par le serveur de routage. Des protocoles de routage de multidiffusion doivent être supportés seulement au niveau du serveur de routage, ce qui permet de minimiser l'unité centrale et les ressources en mémoire nécessaires aux terminaux. La capacité de canal pour le trafic de multidiffusion peut être attribuée de manière statique ou dynamique et tire plein avantage de la nature de diffusion du support.
