Telemedicine is using telecommunications and IT and other ICT tools to widen healthcare services to remote rural areas. ICT global coverage, multicasting ability, and the high capacity of satellites in GEO can be served as an instrument to widen and enhance the high quality of healthcare service to remote rural areas. Long end-to-end latency could be attributed to the GEO satellites that demean the performance of data communications that can lead to underutilization of the high available capacity due to high link errors and the long latency. The real latency of GEO satellites could be 200ms or above, which can leads to capacity utilization as lower as 37% with a maximum of 458kbps obtainable capacity of the test from LAUTECH Ogbomoso (service provider). The TCP performance can be enhanced through the adoption of other necessary transmission protocols for testing and investigating any possible modifications to improve the performance over the satellite and hybrid channels network. TCP performances largely depend on its loss recovery. To minimize latency, the network must have the necessary resources to provide quality communication within the shortest latency times to perform its required real-time transmission. To transmit from node to node it needs a minimum of 3123.2 1KB and a maximum of 5683.2 1KB packets to go from each connection.
