Comment on NASA uses laser to send video of a cat named Taters over 19 million miles

I’m wondering if we will need to tweak our Internet protocols to include interplanetary time? I would imagine mirroring would be much more important. Because light can only go so fast.

Yes, the high latency and intermittent connectivity is a big challenge. Delay tolerant networking (DTN) is one good way of solving this problem.

I’m sure several OSI layers have already been modified by NASA to suit their needs. But, the protocols will pretty much remain standard.
