[Sls-slp] Encapsulation packets over TC VC Packet service?

[John Pietras]

Dear Gian Paolo.
It’s obvious that I’m due for my annual vision test ☺! I read that line several times and somehow overlooked the “TC (reference [2])”. I am truly embarrassed.

Thank you for your quick response. And to the rest of you, my apologies for wasting your time with  my error.

Best regards,
john

Dear John,
        I think that Virtual Channel Packet service of TC (section 3.4 of CCSDS 232.0-B-3) is actually mentioned under the bullet "a" you report below.
That bullet intends to refer to VCP Service that - mutatis mutandis - is actually provided by 3 books:
TM (reference [1]),
TC (reference [2]),
AOS (reference [3]),

Am I overlooking something?

Regards

Gian Paolo

Section 3.2.2.2 of the Encapsulation Packet Protocol Blue Book (CCSDS 133.1-B-3) specifies the content of the SDLP_Channel for the various underlying space data link protocols (SDLPs):



“a)       for the Virtual Channel Packet (VCP) service of TM (reference [1]), TC (reference [2]),

or AOS (reference [3]), SDLP_Channel shall contain the Global Virtual Channel

Identifier (GVCID);

b)         for the MAP Packet (MAPP) service of TC (reference [2]) and USLP (reference [5]),

SDLP_Channel shall contain the Global MAP ID (GMAP ID);

c)         for the Packet Service of Proximity-1 (reference [4]), SDLP_Channel shall contain the

Transfer Frame Version Number, the Spacecraft Identifier (SCID), the Physical

Channel Identifier (PCID), the Data Field Construction ID (DFC_ID), and the Port ID.”



Missing from this list is any mention of the Virtual Channel Packet service of TC (section 3.4 of CCSDS 232.0-B-3. Was this exclusion accidental or intentional – i.e., is Encapsulation over the TC VC Packet service disallowed? I suggest that the issue be resolved unambiguously one way or the other – that is, either add it to the list of SDLP_Channels that contain GVCIDs or add a note that explicitly rules out in that usage.



Thanks.



Best regards,

John
