I agree with Jeremy forcing the LTP engine to know the contact plan is not great, but having another “stale session timeout” seems an equally non-ideal solution. Would all these problems “go away” if we force in the spec that a green block always be transmitted as a single green segment? But then the block size must be matched to the underlying link MTU (or transmission size used by the mission) which is <=65 kB for transfer frames, I believe.

That being said, I don’t think that’s a dependency which we want to force, due to the “perpetual downlink” use-case (ISS). There’s nothing stopping me from running a single LTP link from now until the end of time, unaware of the status of the underlying link. Of course, there’s the caveat that green sessions may be transmitted into the void, never to be seen again.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>That being said, the “last green block” problem is insidious: In a nominal downlink (e.g. with minimal out-of-order arrival and loss), we can use the EOB as a signal that the block should be delivered. However, if the EOB is out-of-order, there’s a problem: the application shouldn’t have to expect that data from the same session may arrive twice. The only way to really deal with this in the face of out-of-order/missing arrivals is to track the completeness of a green session. If the EOB block is delivered while data is still missing, we ignore it and “hold” the session until a user-specified timeout. In LTPv2, we called this the “stale session timeout”. If more data is delivered into one of these pending sessions, it can still be enqueued and delivered upon timeout. This allows us to treat out of order sessions and those where the EOB is missed in the same way.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Jeremy<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b>From:</b> SIS-DTN <<a href="mailto:sis-dtn-bounces@mailman.ccsds.org">sis-dtn-bounces@mailman.ccsds.org</a>> <b>On Behalf Of </b>sburleig.sb--- via SIS-DTN<br><b>Sent:</b> Tuesday, May 30, 2023 11:55 PM<br><b>To:</b> 'Sanchez Net, Marc (US 332H)' <<a href="mailto:marc.sanchez.net@jpl.nasa.gov">marc.sanchez.net@jpl.nasa.gov</a>>; 'Torgerson, J.

My thought on this is that LTP needs to be aware of the “contact plan” in order to know when to pause and resume the “red” timers. Given this, the LTP engine should be able to infer that cessation of green block segment reception is due to the termination of the pass. At that point we have a matter of policy. If it’s known that green block transmission is always supposed to happen far enough before the end of the pass to enable complete reception, then the end of the pass signifies that any currently incomplete block is not going to be completed and the block’s current incomplete contents can be delivered. If not, then maybe the current state of that incomplete final block should be sustained until the start of the next pass enables further reception of that block’s segments.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Of course, sticking to small green blocks that are transmitted in single green segments makes the whole issue go away.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Scott<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b>From:</b> Sanchez Net, Marc (US 332H) <<a href="mailto:marc.sanchez.net@jpl.nasa.gov">marc.sanchez.net@jpl.nasa.gov</a>> <br><b>Sent:</b> Tuesday, May 30, 2023 1:18 PM<br><b>To:</b> <a href="mailto:sburleig.sb@gmail.com">sburleig.sb@gmail.com</a>; Torgerson, J.
