International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 17-20, 1994 / Town & Country Hotel and Conference Center, San Diego, California / In recent years the extension of interactive simulation technology to involve
simulators and live vehicles from geographically dispersed sites has produced a
demand for high-bandwidth communication networks that can provide guaranteed
quality of service (e.g., insured availability of bandwidth and upper bounds on
end-to-end delay). This paper reviews the requirements distributed interactive
simulation places on the communications infrastructure and describes the Defense
Simulation Internet (DSI), a network developed by the Advanced Research Projects
Agency to support distributed interactive simulations. Key features of the DSI are:
more than 120 participating sites spanning Europe, the United States and Asia; use of
a resource reservation mechanism to provide guaranteed quality of service; and
support for communication between classified sites. Furthermore, the paper describes
the internetworking protocols used in the DSI to provide guaranteed quality of service
and to support transmission of classified communications. Other topics discussed in
the paper are research efforts that anticipate increased load on the DSI and the
relevance of the technology to the integration of the telemetry range and distributed
interactive simulations.
