Overview:

The space exploration missions are crucial for acquisition of information about the space and the universe. The entire success of a mission is directly related to the satisfaction of its communications needs. For this goal, the challenges posed by the InterPlaNetary Internet need to be addressed. Current TCP protocols have very poor performance in the InterPlaNetary Internet which is characterized by extremely high propagation delays, link errors, asymmetrical bandwidth and blackouts. The window-based congestion control, which injects a new packet into the network upon an ACK reception, is responsible for such performance degradation due to high propagation delay. Slow start algorithms of the existing TCP protocols further contribute to the performance degradation by wasting long time periods to reach the actual data rate.
