Abstract
A satellite telecommunication system includes a satellite and multiple computing devices. One computing device is in communication with the satellite and programmed to generate a virtual local area network (VLAN) packet with a VLAN tag and transmit the VLAN packet to the satellite. Another computing device is in communication with the satellite and programmed to receive the VLAN packet, determine VLAN tag information from the VLAN tag, and forward at least the original packet while preserving VLAN tag information associated with the VLAN tag.
