A system and method for routing IP packets to an aircraft eliminates the need for the exchange of routing information via dynamic routing protocols between the aircraft and ground station routers. An Internet protocol (IP) packet routing table is populated by converting a tail number of the aircraft into a destination subnet address for the aircraft. Forward channel information for a ground router is determined based on the tail number. The method further provides for adding a route entry to the routing table based on the forward channel information and the destination subnet address such that the route entry enables the ground router to delivery IP packets to the aircraft. |
