	Title		: A Design Rationale for Providing IP Services Over DVB-S2 Links

This document describes a framework for the transmission of IP
   datagrams over DVB-S2, the second generation standard for Digital
   Video Broadcasting over Satellite.  The new standard features an
   improved and adaptive physical layer, as well as a new framing
   structure at link level, the Generic Streams.  Combined use of
   adaptability and Generic Streams is expected to offer throughputs
   never achieved for IP services up to now, but no standard way to
   carry IP data using the specific features of DVB-S2 has been
   published up to date.  The present document analyzes these issues,
   and it identifies the requirements for the definition of a standard
   interface between the DVB-S2 link layer and an IP subnetwork.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
