<p class="MsoNormal">My plan (before Orange showed up) was to tie off the LTPv2 stuff at this meeting and to move out with implementation. We could start Red-1 agency review by the end of this CY, and I’ve got my v1 implementation that MITRE is updating to
match the current (not yet including Orange) draft, so if somebody can update another implementation we could do the interoperability testing next summer if the agency reviews go well. If that other implementation is ION, I’ve still got (somewhere, I hope)
all the interoperability tests we did for v1; downselecting those to remove the ones that test things not in v2 and adding something to exercise the field length selector and re-running the test scripts wouldn’t be a lot of work.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It is my understanding that a completed spec for gateway would be a Really Good Thing, AND, the longer we push off LTPv2, the more chance there is that more LTPv1 stuff will be deployed which will make it more difficult to change later.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Given the usual preparation/review process of CCSDS blue books, I guess the LTPv2 or LTP+ one won’t be ready before 2023, if we take into account the agency review, interoperability, yellow book etc. Would year 20223
be more in line with the plan from ESA? In any case, I expect that the interim and final outcomes of the activity you have just mentioned will be used as input to the CCSDS standardisation path for this book, isn’t it?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<br>
<br>
</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">I don't see a major issue of having LTPv1 and LTPv2 (or LTP+ ?) as Blue Books for a longer period of time as they are 'only' link layer protocols and these links will have to
be designed for interoperability anyway (frequencies, coding & modulation, data link layer protocol, ...). Furthermore, we may have really separate domains with optical / high-rate RF Earth observation downlinks and Gateway/LunaNet/Moonlight. Of course, in
the long term, we should converge to a single protocol.</span><span lang="EN-GB">
<br>
<br>
</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Also, I would prefer to have a bit longer time frame for the LTP+ definition. ESA will kick-off a dedicated activity for the definition and prototyping (including hardware implementation)
very soon but it will take until end of 2022 to finish. This would give us also a reference implementation for the interoperability testing.</span><span lang="EN-GB">

and there aren’t going to be any pink sheets to the BPv6 book that I foresee.. <o:p>

<p style="margin:0in"><span lang="EN-GB">I do believe LTPv1 and LTPv2 should be two separate books, unless CCSDS thinks it is OK to deprecate protocols that are in active use by missions and in continued support by the DSN. LTPv1 is a different protocol from
LTPv2; it isn’t merely an older version of the same protocol. Not backwards compatible, not just an enhanced version, but a new beast. Therefore we need a new book that can co-exist with LTPv1 until such time as no one is using LTPv1. Once LTPv2 is practically
ready for use in actual missions, we can debate when (or whether) to silverize LTPv1’s book.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style="margin:0in"><span lang="EN-GB">I did say that I thought that <b><i>once</i></b> the new versions are published that then the old books should be “silverized”. This is the way that CCSDS handles such matters. Either that or we name them as two separate
protocols with two separate numbers. That does not remove them, they are still available. It does deprecate them. This is a consequence of both of these protocol version updates being designed to not be backward compatible.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style="margin:0in"><span lang="EN-GB"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span lang="EN-GB">As I have mentioned before, I don’t have a problem with making the BPv6 book a “silver book” - other than existing missions that use it, no new missions are contemplating bpv6 now, and no new features will be added
to ION v3.7.x versions (bpv6), just bug fixes as they come up.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span lang="EN-GB"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span lang="EN-GB">However, I strongly disagree with making the ltpv1 spec “silver” at this time.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span lang="EN-GB"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span lang="EN-GB">There are currently bpv7 (ION 4.1) / ltpv1 systems being developed for flight missions, and assuming that the promised IETF spec for bpv7 is out soon (something we’ve been promised for months now), contracts may have
to be let soon by NASA that specify BPv7/LTPv1.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span lang="EN-GB"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span lang="EN-GB">What CCSDS never considers is the fact that from the time a new CCSDS spec hits the street until the DSN is funded to implement, test and be ready to offer that new protocol as a service, it’s $millions and years before
that happens.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span lang="EN-GB"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span lang="EN-GB">CCSDS and the DTN program already shot DTN in the kneecaps by rushing in to BPv7 right at the time NASA was starting to let contracts for vendors and get the DSN to support DTN – no specs for BPv7 meant no way to specify
DTN but to lamely describe “features” like “store and forward”, so vendors were left to either reinvent DTN by some software over UDP/IP/CCSDS telemetry or to look at cFS or ION with bpv6/ltpv1. CCSDS couldn’t even agree that a spec for BSSP was necessary,
so when we had to support that for the KPLO mission, we couldn’t even put it in the ICD properly (citing “man pages” isn’t an approved way to write an ICD).. So as of today, contracts that would come out in the next year or so for specifying DTN use in the
2024-25 timeframe (and near-term RFIs for Marsnet) will have to specify BPv7 (assuming IETF comes through soon) and LTPv1.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span lang="EN-GB"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span lang="EN-GB">Then NASA will have to fund the DSN to incorporate ION v4.x.x to have a BPv7 and LTPv1 capability.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span lang="EN-GB"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span lang="EN-GB">Nip ltpv1 in the bud? Here’s what it is going to take to get ltpv2 in place and ready to support missions that are supported by the DSN:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span lang="EN-GB"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span lang="EN-GB">The steps:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="color:#4181C0">One implementation should be ION, as that is what will go into the DSN – and that’s not funded at present.</span><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">3. </span><span lang="EN-GB">Test these reference implementation to certify that the new specification is correct, and then commence the process of going

<p style="margin:0in"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">a. </span><span lang="EN-GB">Write the official ION implementation of LTPv2 for the DSN<o:p></o:p></span></p>

(Optical comm implementations at Table Mountain, etc is a whole ‘nother discussion)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">5. </span><span lang="EN-GB">Fund the DSN, NSN, and maybe MSU, to install, test and operate LTPv2 so the ground infrastructure can support it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">6. </span><span lang="EN-GB">Then we will be in a position to encourage use of LTPv2, assist any early-stage vendors to switch over to LTPv2, and come up
with cost-benefits analyses that will show NASA why it is worth paying vendors or (by then) flight missions to switch over to LTPv2, do all the interoperability testing with NSN and DSN, etc.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span lang="EN-GB"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span lang="EN-GB">If CCSDS and SCaN can come up with the budget and timetable that would let steps 1-6 be accomplished in the next 12-24 months, then maybe killing ltpv1 now would be OK. But I also might as well ask for a pony for Christmas.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span lang="EN-GB"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span lang="EN-GB">On the other hand, if you just want to insure that DTN will not be used in Lunanet until 2030, then go ahead and deprecate ltpv1 now, making it unlikely any vendor in the next 3-4 years will implement ltp at all (no
spec, no DSN support, no sale. I know you can still cite a silver book in a contract, but knowing that ltpv1 is a deprecated standard means no one would be eager to implement it.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span lang="EN-GB"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span lang="EN-GB">The DSN is going to have to support 3 versions of DTN as it stands now – BPv6/ltpv1, BPv7/ltpv1 and BPv7/ltp2, and two of the three are not funded for infusion any time soon. (and ION development isn’t funded yet for
ltpv2 compatibility.) No one has funded the implementation of USLP in the DSN yet either, by the way, and no reference implementations have been made available to commercial telemetry vendors.. I hold that up as yet another case where CCSDS specs come out
years and years before anyone in the community is ready to use them in an end-to-end system.. (Want to discuss how long it took between the time I was NASA rapporteur for “protocol-X” (circa 1997?), which became CFDP, and the time when some missions actually
used it?) <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span lang="EN-GB"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span lang="EN-GB">I have no faith that steps 1-6 above can be completed in time to get the Lunar missions on the bandwagon to use BPv7 over a “high speed” LTP version not many spacecraft would even need. (I believe that LTPv2 could well
serve for specialized optical comm missions that needed the high speed FPGA implementations, and LTPv1 could continue to serve most RF missions.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span lang="EN-GB"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span lang="EN-GB">We can move in the direction of BPv7/LTPv2 certainly, but don’t eliminate the CCSDS Bluebook for LTPv1 until there are specs for BPv7 and LTPv2 that can be used by NASA in contracts (or by DSN in ICDs).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style="margin:0in"><span lang="EN-GB">With IPv4 vs IPv6 there was already a major deployment of IPv4 such that it could not easily be abandoned. In our case I think LTPv1 and BPv6 are more like IPv1, v2, and v3. They must have existed along the way to
IPv4, but they are now lost to the dusts of time. In the RFC Editor files there is not even a mention of these, but I assume that they existed at some point.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

OK fine, if the CESG decides to not rule on it, great, we’ll make a decision in the WG and they can live with it (and we can certainly discuss it SOME in the WG; don’t want to put too much time into it until the CESG is at least given a chance to get us out

Hi Keith, <br>
<br>
I agree with your point on troubles in maintaining two books and the fact that this will imply the same treatment for BPv7. Then whether agencies are happy to refer to a silver book rather than a blue book is a bit question mark in my opinion. I remember we
decided a few years ago not to silverize SCPS-TP exactly because there were activities or usage of the corresponding blue book.
<br>
We can certainly bring this matter to the next CESG meeting, although I fear that there might be no strict decision in this regard, since I think there is no specific rule again either approaches and the hot potato could be sent back to WG.
<br>
<br>

Then probably we should better keep two books, one with the “old LTP” for which we’ll do some pink sheets to fix some inconsistencies and another one (the new LTP). In such a away we could have two versions of LTP available, similarly to IPv4 and IPv6 in IETF.
Probably we may have to slightly change the title of the books (v1 and v2?) to have a clear demarcation between the two version of the protocols and avoid any ambiguity.

All, <br>
<br>
I had to leave today’s meeting early. Did we reach consensus on how to proceed? <br>
<br>
Also, I will note that some colleagues at JPL (I have similar concerns) do not really like the idea of turning the current version of LTP into a silver book. The problem is that, by definition, a silver book implies that a protocol is deprecated or obsolete,
but several systems that are being built today use BPv6+LTP or BPv7+LTP and thus might be in operation for a long time. So, essentially, we are “telling” industry that they have developed an already obsolete standard?
