I don't want you to overreact to this news or to unnecessarily spread fear-uncertainty-and-doubt about IPv6. Delay Tolerant Networking What if your communications platform is Outer Space and you now have to contend with orbital mechanics? The entire communications game changes in Space. Milliseconds are no longer a luxury we have. No, we are dealing in minutes, hours and days. For example, for the Mars Sojourner to send traffic back to Earth it takes approx 9 minutes one way. Orbital mechanics are an absolute that we can not change, so how do we deal with it from a protocol level? We call Vint Cerf!
