=============================
ION development is managed by the Jet Propulsion Lab.
The Interplanetary Overlay Network (ION) software distribution implements Delay-Tolerant Networking (DTN) architecture, as described in Internet RFC 9171. It is designed for use in embedded environments, including spacecraft flight computers and ground systems.
ION 4.1.3s is the last version to provide both BPv7 and v6.
Starting ION 4.1.4, only BPv7 code will be available.
Features
- Implementations of version 7 of Bundle Protocol.
- Bundle Streaming Service, for streaming audio, video, and telemetry over DTN.
- An implementation of BPSec, the new security protocol for BP, soon to be an Internet standard.
- Delay-Tolerant Payload Conditioning, for "transport"-like functionality over BP, plus application data aggregation and elision.
- An updated implementation of LTP link service based on erasure coding.
- An implementation of Class 1 CCSDS File Delivery Protocol (CFDP)
- An implementation of Asynchronous Management Protocol, for delay-tolerant network management.
