    Dan:

    Could you perhaps ask your question a bit more precisely? Which of the four
    SCPS protocols would you suggest should be launched on an IETF standards track?

    If you are talking about the SCPS flavor of TCP (TCP Tranquility), in what
    context do you ask the question? TCP running between two ground end systems
    over a satellite link, or TCP running from a ground end system to an end
    system onboard a satellite?

    If the latter, what would be the benefit to you of IETF standardization of
    TCP Tranquility? If it was on a standards track, would CISCO Systems Gobal
    [sic] Defense and Space Group then be interested in investing corporate
    funds to build a bunch of COTS products to support space missions?

    Best regards
