1. A method performed by one or more computers, the method comprising:
obtaining, by the one or more computers, communication data from a plurality of devices in a satellite communication network, wherein the communication data from each device indicates levels of network traffic for the device over the satellite communication network over time;
generating, by the one or more computers, an idle period forecasting model using the obtained communication data, wherein the idle period forecasting model is configured to predict occurrence of future communication idle periods in which communication activity is predicted to be below a threshold; and
providing, by the one or more computers, the idle period forecasting model via multicast over the satellite communication network to the plurality of devices to enable each device of the plurality of devices to generate, using the idle period forecasting model, predictions of future communication idle periods for the device.
