Depending how the first session ended and what termination mechanism in Prox–1 was chosen, the "sender"(master) may not be aware that the last frame(s) within the window were accepted by the "receiving node"(slave) because the acknowledgement for them was generated, transmitted, but never received by the master (went out of view). So when the master starts transmitting again in session 2, it may start with what it believes the last frame acknowledged was, which could be one or more frames that the other side already acknowledged.

How do we reconcile 2.2.3.2: <br>
The Sequence Controlled service ensures that data are reliably transferred across the space link and delivered in order, without gaps, errors, or duplications within a single
<br>
communication session without COP-P resynchronization during the session (see 4.3.2).
<br>
with Note 2 in section 4.3.2.2: <br>
2 The mechanisms provided in this specification will not eliminate duplicate data associated with the transition between the end of one session and the beginning of the
<br>
next. Elimination of this problem is left to the controlling data system. <br>
GPC: they do not in conflict as there is guarantee within a session but not across session. It may be this should be highlighted somehow in section 2 too.<br>

** Figure 2-1 at the top: <br>
"INPUT of USER DATA + Routing Info" -- is it really routing information? Maybe "USER DATA + Control Info"? If this referrs specifically to the Port ID then OK, I suppose the control of data output from the receiver is a form of routing.

4.3.2.2 (and Reliable Data Transfer in general) <br>
Is the user informed of whether COP-P resynchronization has taken place during the course of a single communication session? If not, how does the receiver know if there may be duplicate data? Does detectingresynchronization require setting the MIB parameter
Resync_Local to 'false'? If the user is required to monitor the RESYNC variable (7.1.2) to detect resynchronization, is there any guarantee that the user will detect the change (that is, if the user reads 1/second, will they notice the resynch event?)
<br><br>
Note 1 in section 4.3.2.2 -- how is the delivery of duplicate data due to factors outside the scope of the Proximity-1 protocol? It seems that duplicate data may be delivered because the Proximity-1 protocol does not detect duplication across resynchronization
events, but I suspect a more robust COP-like protocol *could*. The point is, the duplicate data is a result of the Prox-1 reliability mechanisms not being robust across resynchronzation, not some sort of external factor.<br><br>
What are the 'bounds' on duplicate data reception associated with Note 2 in section 4.3.2.2? Are all data received with 256 frames of a communication session boundary suspect of duplication, e.g.?

data driven and responds to the sending node. If set to "false", it's up to the Sending Node vehicle controller on how to deal with the out of sync condition, which is then outside of the protocol. Some missions may simply not care if one overflight (of short

6.2.3.7 REMOTE_SCID_BUFFER <br>
Are the tests mentioned done on reception or transmission? It seems like this is trying to ensure that all frames are sent to the same destination spacecraft ID?

6.2.3.9 RECEIVING_SCID_BUFFER <br>
"...or it may be loaded with the spacecraft ID contained in the first valid received frame." -- First of WHAT (I think 'first valid received frame of a new connection where the sourceOrDest parameter of the frame is DESTINATION' [since if the first valid received
frame has sourceOrDestination set to source then the value of the SCID will be the transmitter -- or is this not possible?])?

Yes it is the initial valid
received frame of a session. However this refers to the optional test when S/D = SOURCE, since the test when S/D = DESTINATION is always made. See section 3.2.2.9 and section 6.2.4.2. We accept some of the rewording as a RID – we will update with the wording
"the initial valid received frame of a session" and in 6.2.4.2 as well.</span><span style="font-size: 15pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><pre style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="color:black">This message and any attachments are intended for the use of the addressee or addressees only.
