Abstract
An aircraft with Internet based communication includes a plurality of communication radios and a processing circuit. The plurality of communication radios are configured to communicate with a ground message manager. The processing circuit is configured to receive a message from a system of the aircraft and encapsulate the received messages into a transport layer segment. The processing circuit is further configured to encapsulate the transport layer segment into an Internet layer packet and add a protocol identifier to the Internet layer packet, the protocol identifier indicating to the ground message manager that the Internet layer packet is an Internet based message. The processing circuit is configured to send the Internet layer packet to the ground message manager via the plurality of communication radios.
