Space data and information transfer systems — Space Link Extension — Internet Protocol for Transfer Services

The Space Link Extension (SLE) Reference Model identifies a set of SLE Transfer Services that enable missions to send forward space link data units to a spacecraft and to receive return space link data units from a spacecraft. A subset of these services is specified by the SLE Transfer Service Recommended Standards. The SLE Transfer Service Recommended Standards specify: the operations necessary to provide the transfer service; the parameter data associated with each operation; the behaviors that result from the invocation of each operation; and the relationship between, and the valid sequence of, the operations and resulting behaviors. However, they deliberately do not specify the methods or technologies required for communications. ISO 18440:2013 defines a protocol for transfer of SLE Protocol Data Units (PDUs) defined in the SLE Transfer Service Recommended Standards using the Internet protocols TCP (Transmission Control Protocol and IP (Internet Protocol) for data transfer and the Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) for data encoding. This protocol is referred to as the Internet SLE Protocol One (ISP1). ISO 18440:2013 defines a protocol for transfer of SLE PDUs between an SLE user and an SLE provider system in terms of: the procedures used to establish and release associations; the messages exchanged on an established association; the procedures used to monitor the status of data communication connections; and the methods used to ensure that data are converted between different formats and representations on different platforms. It does not specify: individual designs, implementations, or products; the configuration of the data communications infrastructure, including configuration of the TCP and IP protocols; the means by which addresses (IP addresses and TCP port numbers) are agreed, assigned, and communicated. ISO 18440:2013 responds to the requirements imposed by the International Standards for SLE transfer services that were available when this International Standard was released. The protocol specified in ISO 18440:2013 conforms to the requirements on data communication services set forth in those International Standards.

b) the parameter data associated with each operation;
c) the behaviors that result from the invocation of each operation; and
d) the relationship between, and the valid sequence of, the operations and resulting behaviors.
However, they deliberately do not specify the methods or technologies required for communications.
The purpose of this International Standard is to define a protocol for transfer of SLE Protocol Data Units

SPACE LINK EXTENSION—INTERNET PROTOCOL FOR TRANSFER SERVICES
STATEMENT OF INTENT
The Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS) is an organization officially
established by the management of its members. The Committee meets periodically to address
data systems problems that are common to all participants, and to formulate sound technical
solutions to these problems. Inasmuch as participation in the CCSDS is completely
voluntary, the results of Committee actions are termed Recommended Standards and are
not considered binding on any Agency.
This Recommended Standard is issued by, and represents the consensus of, the CCSDS
members. Endorsement of this Recommendation is entirely voluntary. Endorsement,
however, indicates the following understandings:
o Whenever a member establishes a CCSDS-related standard, this standard will be in
accord with the relevant Recommended Standard. Establishing such a standard
does not preclude other provisions which a member may develop.
o Whenever a member establishes a CCSDS-related standard, that member will
provide other CCSDS members with the following information:
-- The standard itself.
-- The anticipated date of initial operational capability.
-- The anticipated duration of operational service.
o Specific service arrangements shall be made via memoranda of agreement. Neither
this Recommended Standard nor any ensuing standard is a substitute for a
memorandum of agreement.
No later than five years from its date of issuance, this Recommended Standard will be
reviewed by the CCSDS to determine whether it should: (1) remain in effect without change;
(2) be changed to reflect the impact of new technologies, new requirements, or new
directions; or (3) be retired or canceled.
In those instances when a new version of a Recommended Standard is issued, existing
CCSDS-related member standards and implementations are not negated or deemed to be
non-CCSDS compatible. It is the responsibility of each member to determine when such
standards or implementations are to be modified. Each member is, however, strongly
encouraged to direct planning for its new standards and implementations towards the later
version of the Recommended Standard.

SPACE LINK EXTENSION—INTERNET PROTOCOL FOR TRANSFER SERVICES
1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 PURPOSE
The Space Link Extension (SLE) Reference Model (reference [1]) identifies a set of SLE
Transfer Services that enable missions to send forward space link data units to a spacecraft
and to receive return space link data units from a spacecraft. A subset of these services is
specified by the SLE Transfer Service Recommended Standards (references [2], [3], [4], [5],
and [6]). The SLE Transfer Service Recommended Standards specify
a) the operations necessary to provide the transfer service;
b) the parameter data associated with each operation;
c) the behaviors that result from the invocation of each operation; and
d) the relationship between, and the valid sequence of, the operations and resulting
behaviors.
However, they deliberately do not specify the methods or technologies required for
communications.
The purpose of this Recommended Standard is to define a protocol for transfer of SLE
Protocol Data Units (PDUs) defined in the SLE Transfer Service Recommended Standards
using the Internet protocols TCP (Transmission Control Protocol, reference [7]) and IP
(Internet Protocol, reference [8]) for data transfer and the Abstract Syntax Notation One
(ASN.1, references [9] and [10]) for data encoding. This protocol is referred to as the
Internet SLE Protocol One (ISP1).
1.2 SCOPE
This Recommended Standard defines a protocol for transfer of SLE PDUs between an SLE
user and an SLE provider system in terms of:
a) the procedures used to establish and release associations;
b) the messages exchanged on an established association;
c) the procedures used to monitor the status of data communication connections; and
d) the methods used to ensure that data are converted between different formats and
representations on different platforms.
It does not specify:
a) individual designs, implementations, or products;
b) the configuration of the data communications infrastructure, including configuration
of the TCP and IP protocols;

ISO 18440:2013(E)
SPACE LINK EXTENSION—INTERNET PROTOCOL FOR TRANSFER SERVICES
c) the means by which addresses (IP addresses and TCP port numbers) are agreed,
assigned, and communicated.
This Recommended Standard responds to the requirements imposed by the Recommended
Standards for SLE transfer services that were available when this Recommended Standard
was released. The protocol specified in this Recommended Standard conforms to the
requirements on data communication services set forth in those Recommended Standards.
1.3 APPLICABILITY
1.3.1 APPLICABILITY OF THIS RECOMMENDED STANDARD
This Recommended Standard provides a basis for the development of real systems that
implement the Internet SLE Protocol. It is applicable for systems acting as an SLE service
user or SLE service provider.
1.3.2 LIMITS OF APPLICABILITY
This Recommended Standard specifies the Internet SLE Protocol that may be applied by an
SLE System for inter-Agency cross support. It is neither a specification of, nor a design for,
real systems that may be implemented for the control and monitoring of existing or future
missions.
1.4 RATIONALE
The goal of this Recommended Standard is to create a standard for interoperability between
the tracking stations and/or ground data handling systems of various agencies and the users
of SLE transfer services based on the technologies TCP/IP and ASN.1.
1.5 DOCUMENT STRUCTURE
1.5.1 ORGANIZATION
This document is organized as follows:
a) section 1 presents the purpose, scope, applicability and rationale of this
Recommended Standard and lists the definitions, conventions, and references used
throughout the Recommended Standard;
b) section 2 describes the Internet SLE Protocol by means of an architectural model
identifying individual protocol layers and the interfaces to higher layers;
c) section 3 specifies the messages exchanged via ISP1 and the procedures to be applied
for connection establishment and release and for data transfer;
