[Cesg-all] CCSDS Review of CCSDS 727.0-P-4.1, CCSDS File Delivery Protocol (CFDP)

[CCSDS Rapporteur]

Control Number: PRP 14-33

The following draft CCSDS Recommended Standard has been placed on 
line for CCSDS Agency review:

      CCSDS 727.0-P-4.1.  CCSDS File Delivery Protocol (CFDP).
                          Pink Book.  Issue 4.1.  November 2014.

DOCUMENT DESCRIPTION:  The CFDP Recommended Standard defines a 
protocol suitable for the transmission of files to and from 
spacecraft data storage and capable of operating in a wide variety of 
mission configurations.  In addition to the purely file delivery 
related functions, the protocol includes file management services to 
allow control over the storage medium.  The current draft update 
moves Store and Forward Overlay Operations from section 6 to a new 
normative annex; removes Extended Procedures; and adds support for 
large files, multi-segment records, and per-segment metadata.

The due date for receipt of review comments by the Review Coordinator 
is 2015-1-30.  Area Directors and WG/BOF Chairs may submit review 
comments directly to the CCSDS Review Coordinator.  More information 
is available at the Web site identified below.
