IP Protocol Stack for Deep Space

Initial Reassessment

As described in RFC, in early 2000’s, the Internet Protocol suite was studied and found not suitable for deep space. However, in 2022, a new assessment found that with the new IP stack features, IP is suitable for deep space networking. This reassessment is discussed in this IETF draft. This reassessment was the foundation of this initiative, which led into the creation of a new IETF working group named tiptop, which stands for “Taking IP to Other Planets”.
