The invention discloses a
satellite network simulation system and method based on an abstract packet and dual-path
processing, and mainly solves the problem that the existing
satellite network simulation technology is difficult to give consideration to
high fidelity and high efficiency in a large-scale and high-
traffic scene. The
system comprises a switch, a
control unit, an abstract packet construction unit, a
satellite network simulator and an abstract packet deconstruction unit, and the switch is bidirectionally connected with the units and serves as a connection platform of the
system to receive and forward data; the
satellite network simulator is used for
network layer protocol
simulation. The abstract packet construction unit is used for distinguishing a control packet from a service data packet and aggregating the data packet into an abstract packet; the abstract
package deconstruction unit restores the abstract
package into an
original data package, and modifies and verifies the data package according to a
simulation result; the
control unit manages operation parameters of the system and provides a
time synchronization and human-computer
interaction interface. According to the method, the system
throughput can be improved while the
simulation precision is guaranteed, high efficiency and
high fidelity are achieved, configuration is flexible, deployment cost is low, and the method can be used for network
protocol verification and
routing algorithm performance evaluation of large-scale satellite constellations.
