Research and analysis of flow control mechanism for transport protocols of the space wire onboard networks

Abstract

The paper provides the analysis of the existing solutions for the flow control mechanisms of the well-known industrial protocols (Infiniband, Fibre Channel, PCI Express, USB 3.1), protocols for mobile communications (UniPro), protocols for global networks (TCP/IP) and onboard networks (SpaceWire, GigaSpaceWire, SpaceFibre, JRDDP, SpaceWire-R, RapidIO, STP). Current analysis resulted in the Flow Control mechanism that was proposed during the development of the new transport protocol STP-ISS for the onboard networks.
