The IPNSIG, as an organization under the Internet Society, advocates the concept of establishing a common, interoperable, autonomous and scalable routing framework within the Solar System Internet. We believe this is crucial to achieving a resilient and sustainable communication environment in space. 

​

We express our willingness to facilitate, and expect interested communities to further pursue refinement and advancement of a technical solution in support of this goal.

IPNSIG AWG Routing Workshop

Recommendations from workshop results:

Important points

• Autonomy
• Overall goal is to populate forwarding tables or routing tables (where appropriate) without human intervention and depart from Earth-centric management scheme
• Commonality
• To enable Autonomy we need a common and standardized way of the following:
• The population of a Forwarding and (where routes are computed) Routing Table
• Function enabling the bundle protocol agent to access a forwarding table API that answers the question: "where should I send this bundle and with what CLA/address?", similar to ARP lookup Interoperability
• Define a common to every Node set of functions

Important points

• Interoperability
• Inter-regional routing should be based on a common standard
• Intra-regional routing could be heterogeneous, adopting methods that suit the needs of a specific environment or a mission
• Inter- and Intra-region routing should be interoperable
• Scalability
• Architecture needs to be structured in some way (Hierarchy)
• Node IDs, Addressing Schemes, segmenting concepts need to be further looked at to accommodate the scale of the SSI
