Yeah, I guess it depends on how you parse the words "This protocol gives 
smaller code footprint size and increased performance when compared with 
TCP and with an earlier implementation of the CCSDS File Delivery 
Protocol (CFDP) written within SSTL."  Since code footprint size and 
increased performance are not aspects of protocol design, it seemed 
reasonable to me to conclude that what was being discussed in this 
sentence was implementations of these protocols.  A small point in any case.
