Delay-Tolerant Networking TCP Convergence Layer Protocol Version 4
draft-ietf-dtn-tcpclv4-20
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.
