1. A satellite telecommunication system for effecting communication between a network and remote systems via a forward satellite link and a return satellite link, the satellite telecommunication system comprising:
a gateway configured for establishing the forward satellite link and the return satellite link to the remote systems, said gateway comprising:
a satellite hub configured for receiving outgoing data and for transmitting said outgoing data to at least one of the remote systems via the forward satellite link, said satellite hub including a first traffic controlling module, wherein the first traffic controlling module is configured for obtaining a first flow of the outgoing data being transmitted from the satellite hub such that said first flow follows a predetermined traffic profile; and
a virtual hub module configured for forwarding, from the network, the outgoing data to the satellite hub, said virtual hub module including a second traffic controlling module, wherein the second traffic controlling module is configured for obtaining a second flow of the outgoing data being forwarded from the virtual hub module such that said second flow is unchanged by the first traffic controlling module.
