Resilient Space Internet Comes Down to Earth Gadgets

A new Internet protocol designed for interplanetary transmissions is bringing its delay-tolerant magic to Earth. Google's Android does a lot more these days than just smart phones and nifty mobile gadgets. An Internet pioneer is using the platform to launch a interplanetary Internet protocol on Earth that could harden wireless networks against....

Interplanetary Internet

NASA is working on Delay Tolerant Networking, or DTN, protocols which will extend the terrestrial Internet into space by overcoming a number of obstacles, including the extraordinary length of time it takes packets to move between separate hops in a deep-space network, the intermittent nature of network connections, and bit-scrambling radiation.

The Interplanetary Internet is now being tested in space.

The first use of the ‘bundle’ protocol in space has been demonstrated with the UK-DMC satellite built by Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd (SSTL). Sensor data was successfully delivered from the satellite using this disruption- and delay-tolerant networking protocol designed for the Interplanetary Internet.

"Father of the Internet"

NASA staff, together with the "father of the Internet," Vint Cerf, by 2010, will present a ready-to realize the concept of the spacecraft tolerant of delays networks (DTN, Delay tolerant networking). This edition writes Internet Evolution. By that date DTN can be applied in machines and spacecraft, working in the lunar program.

VoIP traffic isn't just normal traffic

Some interesting information about VoIP on private networks here: "Voice conversations are interactive in nature, and thus not very tolerant of large delays. The network causes a certain level of delay and if this delay is large enough (usually more than 150 milliseconds), it's going to be very difficult to talk to someone."

Communicating even when the network’s down

Researchers are creating mobile networks that can sustain communications even in the face of broken links and long delays. The quest for such disruption-tolerant networks, or DTNs, is being driven by military, scientific and emergency-response wireless networks. You can think of it as the “it’s better than nothing” approach to networking.
