Abstract
A system for inroute throttling in a satellite network is disclosed. The system includes an IP Gateway (IPGW) that may compute a volume usage count of inroute traffic associated with a terminal, compare the computed volume usage count of inroute traffic with a first threshold, and transmit, based on the comparison, a Fair Access Policy (FAP) state to the terminal. The FAP state corresponds to one of a throttled and an unthrottled. The system further includes an Inroute Group Manager (IGM) that may receive, from the terminal, the FAP state and apply a FAP, on the inroute traffic from the terminal, corresponding to the received FAP state.
