Transport settings manage Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and Space Communications Protocol Standards (SCPS), which are especially important for satellite networks.

SCPS-TP (Transport Protocol) was developed by NASA and USSPACECOM for high-latency, low-bandwidth networks like satellite and wireless environments. Today, SCPS is widely used in both government and private sectors.

Riverbed products support SCPS and include SkipWare, a proprietary technology that detects changes in bandwidth allocation and dynamically adjusts transmission windows for optimal performance.

SCPS features require a license. Once installed, SkipWare is enabled automatically, regardless of other transport acceleration settings. A service restart is required after license installation.

Only users with the Optimization Service role can modify SCPS settings. Until the SCPS license is installed, related settings are dimmed in the Management Console.
