Description of Document

As space flight missions become more frequent and more complex, it will become apparent that multicast communications (delivering a given item of information to multiple entities that have expressed interest in it) may be as useful in space networks as it has proven in the Internet. A new standard for reliable multi-point data delivery in delay-tolerant networking is needed.

The CCSDS Asynchronous Message Service provides a publish/subscribe service among others, but AMS is not designed for efficient large-scale, high-volume data publication. Internet multicast is not a viable option because reliable IP multicast methods rely on in-order end-to-end retransmission, which is unsuitable for space flight communications.
