    Does anyone know of someone "flying" an onboard SCPS stack?

    Does anyone know of any commercial applications that call the SCPS-TP
    options. SCPS-FP is the only application one I know of.

    Does anyone know of a commercial vendor implementing a SCPS-NP router? To
    take full advantage of some options in SCPS-TP, one needs as SCPS-NP router.

    We performed high-speed testing those SCPS options we could test and found
    no significant performance improvements.
    The report is being written, but not yet available. The results were
    presented as the 2nd Space Internet Workshop in June and will be
    presented at SpaceOps 2002.

    "SCPS-TP, TCP and Rate-Based Protocol Evaluation," (Includes multi-flow
    data) SpaceOps 2002 at Houston, TX, October 9-12, 2002 (Powerpoint) file
    size 951,808 bytes

    By the way, SCPS-TP advertises TCP's protocol number for reliable transport
    protocol selections. It does this even if the pure rate-based transmission
    is used. IMO, this is terrible as it make QoS and queue management very
    difficult. I may be putting a rate-based protocol into a WRED
    queue. Guess who loses.
