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?
