ABSTRACT:
Originating and terminating units (32, 36) communicate through a network (22) containing satellites (46, 50, 52) and gateways (44, 48). The network (22) receives user-prioritized lists (62) of protocols from the respective units (32, 36). The network (22) compares the lists (62) to determine the highest-priority common protocol. If a common protocol exists, the network (22) establishes a link between the units (32, 36) utilizing the common protocol and excluding the gateways (44, 48). If a common protocol does not exist, the network (22) selects as originating and terminating protocols the highest-priority protocols in the respective lists (62). If the originating protocol consumes a greater number of resources, the network (22) establishes the link, translating between protocols in an originating gateway (44) and excluding a terminating gateway (48). Otherwise, the network (22) establishes the link, translating in the terminating gateway (48) and excluding the originating gateway (44).
