NASA, working to send high-bandwidth video and data from deep space to Earth, transmitted a video of a cat named Taters as part of an experiment.

    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 think the issue, again will be date and time.

      DDMMYYYY + Planet + Orbit?

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