Description
While SpaceFibre has everything included to realise payload networks, we believe that additional protocols can further extend its scope of application. Firstly, a 'transaction layer' protocol would simplify the configuration of larger networks by unifying the configuration memory space within SpaceFibre end nodes and routing switches. Secondly, a new QoS protocol on top of a virtual network would allow the realisation of many-node command & control applications by splitting this virtual network into further 'real' virtual channels. This slot allows an open discussion on these and other protocol ideas and is also meant to re-establish the idea of an open, voluntary working group for the development of the 'transaction layer'.
