The Remote Virtual-Channel Transfer Protocol

The Remote Virtual-Channel Transfer Protocol (RVTP for short) is proposed to transfer CCSDS AOS Virtual Channel Frames across a SpaceWire Network. In order to transfer more efficiently and reliably onboard data in large volume and at high data rate, RVTP is designed to encapsulate a CCSDS AOS Virtual Channel Frame into a SpaceWire packet at the initiator node. At the target node, RVTP provides error detection and handling services.
