[Sis-dtn] LTP vs LTPv2

[Tomaso.deCola at dlr.de]

Then probably we should better keep two books, one with the "old LTP" for which we'll do some pink sheets to fix some inconsistencies and another one (the new LTP). In such a away we could have two versions of LTP available, similarly to IPv4 and IPv6 in IETF. Probably we may have to slightly change the title of the books (v1 and v2?) to have a clear demarcation between the two version of the protocols and avoid any ambiguity.

All,

I had to leave today's meeting early. Did we reach consensus on how to proceed?

Also, I will note that some colleagues at JPL (I have similar concerns) do not really like the idea of turning the current version of LTP into a silver book. The problem is that, by definition, a silver book implies that a protocol is deprecated or obsolete, but several systems that are being built today use BPv6+LTP or BPv7+LTP and thus might be in operation for a long time. So, essentially, we are "telling" industry that they have developed an already obsolete standard?

Best,
