Abstract
A Non-Geostationary Orbit (NGSO) satellite system is described that utilizes backbone route tables at its satellites that define different snapshots of a time-varying backbone topology of the NGSO satellite system. Because each satellite may see a different portion of the backbone topology, the backbone route tables at different satellites may be different from each other. Also, the backbone route tables at the satellites may be active at different times as the backbone topology changes over time. Different routing groups of backbone route tables may be defined in order to represent different routing options for packets arriving at a satellite. The routing options for a routing group may emphasis various network performance and security goals for traffic assigned to the routing group.
