A method of and system for designing a satellite network includes selecting an optimal design for a backhaul network to be used as part of the satellite network, selecting a number of radio frequency (RF) gateways for the satellite network, selecting an optimal number of satellite network cores (SNCs) for the satellite network. The method may also include placing each SNC at a site that is geographically separate from locations of the RF gateways, selecting a number of data centers for the satellite network, connecting each SNC to one or more data centers in the satellite network, and connecting each data center to one or more of the RF gateways via the backhaul network.

Methods and systems for providing sourcing Internet access requests from ISP subscribers serviced by a gateway not physically located near the subscribers. As the localization needs of all subscribers are not necessarily the same, the gateway determines an appropriate source IP address to use to ensure that the IP protocol localization features work efficiently. In addition, the gateway can help enforce rules related to the governing law of the geographic area of the subscriber and/or rules based on the content providers licensing. Through determination of the context of a request, the gateway may also determine whether localized sourcing of a request is necessary based on the type of content being requested.
