Abstract
A system and method for managing handoff in software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) in aero or mobility situations, where terminal is capable of switching across multiple high throughput satellite (HTS), low-latency wireless spot beams and cell. The system receives at least one packet for upstream/downstream transmission over communication network. The system classifies packets based on data types associated with packets and assigns wireless path associated with first network transport modem for upstream/downstream transmission of packets classified as interactive traffic data type. Furthermore, system assigns satellite path associated with second network transport modem for upstream/downstream transmission of packets classified as bulk traffic data type. Further, system estimates available capacity for upstream/downstream transmission of packets associated with first and/or second network transport modem. Furthermore, system adjusts rate limited priority queue for continuity of TCP connection corresponding to packets, responsive to change in network conditions of communication network during the upstream/downstream transmission.
