Control Number: RP 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 Agency review comments by the Review 
Coordinator is 2015-1-30.  More information is available at the Web 
site identified below.

The review document, in Portable Document Format (PDF), and 
associated review materials are available for downloading at the

REMINDER:  Agency Heads of Delegation are to make their own 
arrangements for review participation by their Agency-sponsored Associates.

NOTE: Per CMC Action Item CMC-A-2007-10-05, agency reviewers are 
reminded to review for compliance with the CCSDS Publications Manual 
as well as technical content.
