    Dan,

    I need to better understand your question...

       An onboard stack using (any flavor of)
       TCP and IP (version 4 or 6) is part of
       the SCPS recommendations.

       CISCO manufactures equipment that could
       be labeled "SCPS Compliant" if there were
       such a classification.

    Based on this, the answer to your question is: Yes

    If only there were a market for onboard networking
    equipment, CISCO marketing folks could add that to
    the marketing brochures :o)

    Now, when one asks a rhetorical question, there is
    generally a reason - I honestly want to understand
    your motivation was for asking a question (in this
    forum) where you know the answer.

    Please understand that missions will adopt whatever
    satisifies their goals (which are not limited to
    reducing risk from unfamiliar code-bases, increasing
    efficiency and maximizing the amount of science they
    can get down per unit of time and radiated power);

    These requirements may not mesh with the goals of
    the larger IETF, and hence may not justify attempting
    to standardize differentiated behaviors for use in
    the Internet (where they probably will never be used);

    When you have sufficent time, *please* reread my responses
    and then let's take this off list.

    It is not apparent to me that the discussion that
    you want to have is really relevant to the to the
    rest of the list...

    Enjoy the remainder of your vacation.

    Eric
