Hi Gabe-

You’ll find a bunch of information in the RFCs published by the 
[TCPSAT](https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/tcpsat/documents/) and 
[PILC](https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/pilc/documents/) working groups.  
I’ve cc’ed this response to a new mailing list discussing satellite 
performance issues 
([etosat](https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/Etosat)) and if you 
still have questions (eg, if you are looking at performance issues 
around LEO constellations, you might find help there.  Regarding 
reference implementations, I think it will depend on which performance 
optimizations you are interested in and that, in turn, will depend on 
the characteristics of your satellite network.

Best,

--aaron
