Description of Document

The working group will accomplish the mandated 5-year reconfirmation review of the CCSDS File Delivery Protocol (CFDP) Blue Book. To this end, the working group will consider a number of proposed revisions to CFDP (listed below) and thereupon apply to the specification some agreed-upon subset of those revisions; will perform interoperability testing between two independently developed implementations of the changes incorporated into the revised CFDP Blue Book, to ensure that the revised specification can be successfully implemented. The following CFDP revisions have been proposed: • Remove the Extended Procedures, which are unused. • Relocate the Store and Forward Overlay User Operation (SFO) to a normative annex. (This could be a step toward eventually deprecating SFO in favor of operating CFDP over a Bundle Protocol unitdata transfer layer.) • Provide a way of using CFDP to transfer files that are larger than 4 GB. • Increase the maximum file data segment size, to reduce per-segment processing overhead. • Add per-segment metadata to increase the utility of individually received file data segments prior to reassembly of an entire file. • Enable file record boundaries to be encoded in file data segments, so that a record may span multiple segments or multiple records may be aggregated into a single segment. • Define additional standard service classes that include different subsets of CFDP functionality. • Add more Delivery Code values to make the Finished PDU more informative in proxy operations. • Add the ability to aggregate the Finished information for multiple transactions into a single segment. • Standardize the format for listing the contents of a remote directory. In developing the agreed-upon revisions the working group will preserve backward compatibility with existing CFDP implementations to the extent possible.
