I'm looking for existing satellites that use IP or other Internet 
protocols on board or in their air to ground communications.  If you 
know of any currently flying satellites with such capabilities I'd 
appreciate the references.

We use TCP/IP onboard the shuttle for some systems, but we have a custom 
unreliable protocol for the air to ground segment.  I'd like to identify 
  processors, operating systems, and tcp/ip stacks that have already 
been used in space.
