Abstract
A method routes data packets between nodes in a satellite-based communication system based on header information contained in each of the packets. The header information which contains routing and overhead information indicates whether the packet header has been received without any errors and whether the payload is to be read and processed by the node currently servicing the packet or passed on to another adjacent node. This method works in systems that have packet delays or transmission impairments, such as satellite-based telecommunication systems.
