Delay-Tolerant Networking B. Sipos Internet-Draft RKF Engineering Intended status: Standards Track M. Demmer Expires: 19 August 2021 UC Berkeley J. Ott Aalto University S. Perreault 15 February 2021 Delay-Tolerant Networking TCP Convergence Layer Protocol Version 4 draft-ietf-dtn-tcpclv4-26 Abstract This document describes a TCP-based convergence layer (TCPCL) for Delay-Tolerant Networking (DTN). This version of the TCPCL protocol resolves implementation issues in the earlier TCPCL Version 3 of RFC7242 and updates to the Bundle Protocol (BP) contents, encodings, and convergence layer requirements in BP Version 7. Specifically, the TCPCLv4 uses CBOR-encoded BPv7 bundles as its service data unit being transported and provides a reliable transport of such bundles. This version of TCPCL also includes security and extensibility mechanisms. Status of This Memo This Internet-Draft is submitted in full conformance with the provisions of BCP 78 and BCP 79.
