In my experience satellite links are still among the noisiest with
which one must deal in computer networking situations.
The concept of reserving bandwidth or guaranteeing delay
via RSVP is one of the silliest to grace the IETF (and
a lot of silly ideas appear in the IETF forum viz

But I cannot imagine taking bandwidth or latency reservations
seriously in the context of noisy links.
