Testing these end-to-end algorithms may help discover optimization strategies for LEO satellites.

I reviewed the TCP peach. The main idea is to use dummy packets to probe the availability of network resources (the bandwidth). Dummy segments are treated as low-priority segments and accordingly they do not effect the delivery of actual data traffic

Using TCP in satellite network is quite challenge. Because classic TCP treat the lost of ACK as congestion, but in satellite network, lost of ACK may due to the packet drop in wireless ISL. A lot of variation of existing satellite TCP protocols try to tell the reason of ACK lost
