Abstract

Future military networks will include IP connectivity among mobile airborne platforms. To understand the complexities of such networks, MIT Lincoln Laboratory (MITLL) through a program known as Paul Revere (PR), has implemented a multi-link, IP-networking system between a Boeing 707 and 45 foot tractor trailer. As an experimental platform, the system also supported operator and application requirements during the Joint Expeditionary Force Experiments (JEFX) 2004 executed by the United States Air Force. In this document, we motivate and describe the architecture and implementation, present analysis of our findings, and provide general architectural guidelines for the construction of future IP-based systems.
