Abstract

In modern communication systems, satellite networks play a crucial role in providing global coverage and high-speed data transmission. Traditional network simulation tools face challenges such as high complexity, poor scalability, and inadequate performance, making them unsuitable for simulating satellite networks. To gain a better understanding of satellite network performance and operation, this paper introduces a Docker-based satellite network simulation platform. This platform simulates satellite constellation link establishment rules and uses Docker to construct satellite network topologies, automating snapshot switching, link simulation, satellite communication, and other functions. The platform provides an experimental environment for the design, optimization, and performance evaluation of satellite communication systems, aiding researchers in gaining deeper insights into the operation and performance characteristics of satellite networks.
