[Liaisons] CCSDS Review of CCSDS 133.1-P-2.1, Encapsulation Packet Protocol

[CCSDS Rapporteur]

Control Number: XRP 19-27

The following draft CCSDS Recommended Standard has been placed on 
line and is available for CCSDS-ISO TC 20/SC 13 Liaison review:

     CCSDS 133.1-P-2.1.  Encapsulation Packet Protocol.  Pink Book.
                         Issue 2.1.  August 2019.

DOCUMENT DESCRIPTION:  The CCSDS Recommended Standard for 
Encapsulation Service specifies a communications service to be used 
by space missions to transfer protocol data units that are not 
directly transferred by the Space Data Link Protocols over a 
ground-to-space or space-to-space communications link.  The current 
draft update removes the Space Packet from available encapsulation 
formats, changes the name from Encapsulation Service to Encapsulation 
Packet Protocol, and adds the Unified Space Data Link Protocol to 
supported the Space Data Link protocols.
The due date for receipt of review comments by the Secretariat is 11 
October 2019.  CCSDS-ISO TC 20/SC 13 Liaisons may submit review 
comments directly to the CCSDS Secretariat.  More information is
