Original Abstract Submitted
Techniques for a proxy to replicate traffic being communicated between a client device and a destination device based on determining an outage or impairment in a LEO satellite network. The proxy may be communicating a traffic stream between a source device and a destination device using a primary WAN that includes the LEO satellite network. However, the proxy may determine that the primary WAN has experienced or will experience an outage or other impairment. In such examples, the proxy may then replicate the traffic stream and send the replicated traffic stream over a backup communication link. The backup communication link may a different path through the primary WAN, and/or may be a communication path through a secondary WAN. Once the outage or impairment has cleared, the proxy may stop replicating the traffic and again use the primary WAN to communicate traffic.
