Work summary Investigation of how CFDP can serve as the file transfer protocol within the DTN architecture Initial evaluation of its performance – – integration of ESA/ESTEC CFDP with JPL ION DTN implementation Evaluation using a space-oriented Testbed Conclusion: CFDP can rely on DTN for naming, routing, SFO and reliability International Workshop on Satellite and Space Communications 2009, IWSSC 2009, 911 September 2009, Siena, Italy 2
What gap does this work fill in During the last decade CCSDS has developed CFDP as a file transfer protocol for space communications – – – CFDP is a ready-to-flight product Future missions will support it CFDP relies on current space infrastructure (SPP, TM/TC, AOS) DTN will be the future communication architecture When migrating to DTN how can we take advantage of the already developed CFDP protocol? International Workshop on Satellite and Space Communications 2009, IWSSC 2009, 911 September 2009, Siena, Italy 3
Current state Increased number of space elements need for more automated and flexible communications Current space communication protocols rely on static routing, – while the number of alternative communication paths in space increases Space communication protocols have a rather cross-layer functionality International Workshop on Satellite and Space Communications 2009, IWSSC 2009, 911 September 2009, Siena, Italy 4
Protocols with cross-layer funcionality Space Packet Protocol – – – is really an application layer artifact has a simple naming mechanism (APID) static routing through LDPs CCSDS File Delivery Protocol – – has transport layer functionalities as well supports store-and-forward International Workshop on Satellite and Space Communications 2009, IWSSC 2009, 911 September 2009, Siena, Italy 5
CCSDS File Delivery Protocol 1/2 l Application Layer Protocol for file transferring l Transport Layer Functionalities – – – Two modes of operation (unacknowledged / acknowledged mode) Three file delivery services (Core / Extended Procedures / SFO) Four ACK modes (Deferred / Immediate / Prompted / Asynchronous International Workshop on Satellite and Space Communications 2009, IWSSC 2009, 911 September 2009, Siena, Italy 6
CCSDS File Delivery Protocol 2/2 CFDP is unsuitable when communication complexity increases – – No dynamic routing No file distribution through multiple relay points in parallel No advanced retransmission mechanisms No end-to-end security International Workshop on Satellite and Space Communications 2009, IWSSC 2009, 911 September 2009, Siena, Italy 7
Towards Delay Tolerant Networking New protocols and mechanisms for routing and transfer reliability are needed in order to deal with: – – – Alternative communication paths Intermittent connectivity Large propagation delays High BER Resource sharing among space agencies DTN Architecture tends to dominate the field International Workshop on Satellite and Space Communications 2009, IWSSC 2009, 911 September 2009, Siena, Italy 8
DTN Architecture l Store and Forward message switching l Custody Transfer l Reliability of lower layer (LTP, DS-TP, etc) l Proactive and Reactive Fragmentation l Flexible naming scheme with Late Binding l Dynamic Routing International Workshop on Satellite and Space Communications 2009, IWSSC 2009, 911 September 2009, Siena, Italy 9

The problem Space agencies will continue to use current infrastructure – – legacy mission support financial reasons Questions: – – – How CFDP cooperates with DTN? Is there any functionality overlapping? How it performs? International Workshop on Satellite and Space Communications 2009, IWSSC 2009, 911 September 2009, Siena, Italy 11
CFDP and DTN comparison Features CFDP DTN File management Yes No Reliability Yes SFO Yes Custody Transfer Yes* Yes Global naming No Yes Routing No Yes Security No Yes Solution: keep all the file management features and disable all other International Workshop on Satellite and Space Communications 2009, IWSSC 2009, 911 September 2009, Siena, Italy 12
Evaluation scenario l l COMNET lab’s space oriented communication Testbed CFDP over DTN (ION) – – Each CFDP PDU is encapsulated in a “bundle” CFDP at the endpoints l Simple 2 -node topology l 1 Kbyte CFDP PDU size – Data aggregation/segmentation is left to the underlying network International Workshop on Satellite and Space Communications 2009, IWSSC 2009, 911 September 2009, Siena, Italy 13

COMNET lab’s Testbed 2/2 Distributed nodes – – – COMNET Lab, DUTH, Xanthi, Greece Hellenic Aerospace Industry, Athens, Greece Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA Protocols Implemented: – – ESA/ESTEC CFDP implementation 2 Bundle Protocol Implementations (ION and DTN 2) LTP CCSDS Space Packet Protocol (soon) International Workshop on Satellite and Space Communications 2009, IWSSC 2009, 911 September 2009, Siena, Italy 15
Terrestrial and Geostationary links l CFDP/BP/TCP l 10 MByte file size l 1 Mbps/ 256 Kbps l 50 -300 ms propagation delay l 0 – 10% PER International Workshop on Satellite and Space Communications 2009, IWSSC 2009, 911 September 2009, Siena, Italy 16
Deep-space links l CFDP/BP/LTP and CFDP/UDP l 5 and 10 MByte file size l 1 Mbps/ 256 Kbps l 30 sec propagation delay l 0 – 10% PER International Workshop on Satellite and Space Communications 2009, IWSSC 2009, 911 September 2009, Siena, Italy 17
Conclusions l It is feasible to operate CFDP only as a file application protocol over DTN (ION) l Advantages of such integration could be : – – l the exploitation of the advanced BP features (such as SFO, coarse grained reliability, routing, naming, fragmentation) the exploitation of the enhanced (re)transmission ability (LTP, DSTP) Further results are still needed to identify potential tradeoffs and the mechanisms required to maximize performance International Workshop on Satellite and Space Communications 2009, IWSSC 2009, 911 September 2009, Siena, Italy 18
