NASA implementation of Delay-Tolerant Networking (DTN) - main libraries

Interplanetary Overlay Network (ION) software distribution is an implementation of Delay-Tolerant Networking (DTN) architecture as described in Internet RFC 4838.

This is a suite of communication protocol implementations designed to support mission operation communications across an end-to-end interplanetary network, which might include on-board (flight) subnets, in-situ planetary or lunar networks, proximity links, deep space links, and terrestrial internets.

Included in the ION software distribution are the following packages:

 * ici (interplanetary communication infrastructure) a set of libraries

that provide flight-software-compatible support for functions on which the other packages rely

 * bp (bundle protocol), an implementation of the Delay-Tolerant

Networking (DTN) architecture's Bundle Protocol.

 * dgr (datagram retransmission), a UDP reliability system that implements

congestion control and is designed for relatively high performance.

 * ltp (licklider transmission protocol), a DTN convergence layer for reliable

transmission over links characterized by long or highly variable delay.

 * ams - an implementation of the CCSDS Asynchronous Message Service.
 * cfdp - a class-1 (Unacknowledged) implementation of the CCSDS File

Delivery Protocol.
