Abstract
A routing system operably links a mobile platform to the Internet. The system includes a ground based communications link manager linkable to the mobile platform. At least one ground based prefix server can communicate with the communications link manager. An initial Internet address is assigned to the mobile platform. A prefix server program communicates the initial destination address of the mobile platform to the communications link manager and to the Internet. During a travel segment of the mobile platform a new destination address can be communicated to the Internet using the prefix server to maintain communication between the mobile platform and the Internet.
