Welcome to the Space Internetworking Services (SIS) Collaborative
Work Environment.
As spacecraft become more complex onboard and as their interactions
with peer spacecraft and with the ground become more complex,
designers will become compelled to seriously consider the use of
networking technologies to support those interactions. The Space
Internetworking Services Area provides services and protocols to
address networked interactions of many forms:
- between spacecraft and earth-based resources,
- among spacecraft,
- between spacecraft and landed elements, and
- within heterogeneous spacecraft.
The SIS Area deals with communication services and protocols that
are independent of specific link technology (as a lower layer bound)
and independent of application-specific semantics (as an upper
bound). This covers essentially the network through application
layers of the OSI reference model. The SIS Area accommodates all
ranges of delay, interactivity, and directionality, although not all
protocols are appropriate for all environments.
