Comment SCPS-Space Com Protocol something (Score 1) 98
I want to clear up a few points
1. They're talking about SCPS. There are a few messages that will tell you more about that.
2. The round trip to Pluto is 17hours. You can't send ACK's all the way there and wait for the pack to get back.
But you can do it with a car phone. The distance to cover is less than .3s(add a .3s buffer and you only need to go to the cell- if the cell does buffering)
3. If I get this right the protocol is going to be some sort of UDP with major ErrorCorrection. Huge proxies are needed at either end of the line if you wanna hug the WEB while hiking(at least past the moon). Of course some data will have to be resent - there will be some sort of send on request mechanism.
4. I got a 1.5 sec lag and still can play Starcraft. So TCP/IP is good enough for wiring the Moon.
