SpaceFibre is a high-speed satellite on-board communication protocol. It allows high data rates (up to 6.25 Gbps per lane), advanced quality of service, fault detection isolation and recovery. Different SpaceFibre nodes can be combined, together with a SpaceFibre routing switch, to form a network. This work aims to describe the set-up of a SpaceFibre network, made of independently developed nodes. The performance of a simplified version of the network is then evaluated and measured, in terms of jitter and latency, for both data packets and broadcast messages, providing a first literature contribution about innovative SpaceFibre network timing performances. It will be a useful indication for future system adopters and could be the baseline for future in-depth measurement and investigation.

Abstract
SpaceFibre is a high-speed satellite on-board communication protocol. It allows high data rates (up to 6.25 Gbps per lane), advanced quality of service, fault detection isolation and recovery. Different SpaceFibre nodes can be combined, together with a SpaceFibre routing switch, to form a network. This work aims to describe the set-up of a SpaceFibre network, made of independently developed nodes. The performance of a simplified version of the network is then evaluated and measured, in terms of jitter and latency, for both data packets and broadcast messages, providing a first literature contribution about innovative SpaceFibre network timing performances. It will be a useful indication for future system adopters and could be the baseline for future in-depth measurement and investigation.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
