ABSTRACT:
A system for managing return channel bandwidth in a two-way satellite communication network is disclosed. A plurality of transceivers transmit backlog information over a return channel via a satellite, wherein the backlog information specify an amount of queued traffic for the respective transceivers. A hub receives the backlog information and allocates a minimal amount of return channel bandwidth to each of the transceivers. The hub selectively sets a bandwidth level associated with the return channel bandwidth that is available based upon one of a plurality of predetermined bandwidth levels according to a predetermined criteria. The hub selectively allocates additional return channel bandwidth based upon the bandwidth level to the transceivers that require additional return channel bandwidth in excess of the allocated minimal amounts.
