<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To determine a statistical bandwidth for use in at least one data stream of a communication satellite, in real time. SOLUTION: An outbound module 100 of a satellite 10 contains at least one of buffers 104 to 112 for queuing a data stream received by an uplink and transmitted by a downlink. The outbound module 100 contains a switch 102 for sending a packet of a plurality of data streams to the corresponding buffers 104 to 112, in correspondence with the service quality associated with each data stream and the corresponding buffers 104 to 112. A packet monitor 116 monitors a data stream traffic to each buffer, and measures traffic parameters, such as the number of packet or the number of bits to be received each second by one or a plurality of buffers in the outbound module 100.</p> |
