Abstract

There are provided an apparatus and method for traffic performance improvement and traffic security in an interactive satellite communication system. The method for traffic performance improvement of an interactive satellite communication system includes the steps of: a) storing an Internet protocol (IP) packet that is received from a user terminal connected to a satellite mobile terminal of the interactive satellite communication system and is to be transmitted to a central station through a satellite; b) transmitting acknowledgement for the stored IP packet to the user terminal by acting for the central station, before the stored IP packet is transmitted to the central station; and c) transmitting the stored IP packet through the satellite to the central station, and retransmitting an unacknowledged IP packet according to a retransmission request of the central station.
