> Abstract:
> 
>   Deep space communications involve long delays (e.g., Earth to Mars is
>   4-20 minutes) and intermittent communications, because of orbital
>   dynamics.  Up to now, communications have been done on a layer-2
>   point to point basis, with sometimes the use of relays, therefore no
>   layer-3 networking was possible.  RFC4838 reports an assessment done
>   around 25 years ago concluding that the IP protocol stack was not
>   suitable for deep space networking.  This result lead to the
>   definition of a new protocol stack based on a store-and-forward
>   paradigm implemented in the Bundle Protocol(BP).  More recently,
>   space agencies are planning to deploy IP networks on celestial
>   bodies, such as Moon or Mars, ground, and vicinity.  This document
>   revisits the initial assessment of rejecting IP and provides solution
>   paths to use the IP protocol stack, from IP forwarding to transport
>   to applications to network management, in deep space communications.
