<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Hi,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Realistically, I agree, the LTP engine should probably be aware of either the contact plan OR the status of the downlink. 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"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Marc, good question. 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">Also, a minor note on Scott’s comment that “<i>the arrival of the first segment of the next “green” block is a simpler and perhaps more accurate (configuration-free) means of determining that it is time to deliver the current block</i>”:
How does the receiving LTP engine handle the very last LTP block of a pass? Without a timer, would it ever be released to the application? I hate to add new timers, but I do not see how to get around it in this this corner case.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Guys, a thought on this.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In “red” transmission you expect out-of-order segment arrival on a routine basis, because every retransmitted bundle will arrive out of order. There are timers in the protocol to support the operation of the retransmission procedures.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In “green” transmission you cannot have out-of-order segment arrival if you size your blocks in such a way that each block is transmitted in a single segment. I believe users will typically adopt this model, as “green” data will normally
be data for which minimized delay is more important than reliability (otherwise they would use “red” transmission).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In “green” transmission where the blocks are large enough to require transmission in multiple segments you have to wait for an entire block to arrive – or until you are confident that any missing segments were actually lost rather than
simply forwarded out of order – before delivering the contents of the block. But there’s no re-transmission to avoid, because the transmission is “green”, right? If you wanted retransmission you would have used “red”.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So in that event I would suggest that the arrival of the first segment of the next “green” block is a simpler and perhaps more accurate (configuration-free) means of determining that it is time to deliver the current block – complete or
incomplete – and let the application figure out what to do about the missing data.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Yes, we also have systematic out-of-order in EO or L2 missions as different physical channels may be used (with maybe different rates and different PDU sizes). With ‘implementation issue’ I don’t mean that it is not important

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">Thanks Felix – <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">One comment is that in deep space use of DTN, we would expect that out-of-order delivery would be the rule, rather than the exception – if it takes 40 min RTT to recover a missing segment from Mars, waiting for
it to ensure in-order delivery to some application would make ops impossible. (One must design one’s applications to be “aware” of the operational environment of course..)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">We haven’t used both LTP red/green at the same time in our testing and real-world ops as far as I know, but I suspect that recommending that red and green be in different sessions would be a good idea, if nothing
else but to make troubleshooting easier! (Nate and Jay may have some thoughts based on our lunar ops with KPLO so I cc:d them..)<o:p></o:p></p>
