One Approach for Transitioning the iNET Standards into the IRIG 106 Telemetry Standards

Abstract

This paper documents one proposed approach for transitioning the Integrated Network Enhanced Telemetry (iNET) Standards into the IRIG 106 Part 2 Telemetry Network Standards. Describing the iNET Standards in terms of the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Model provides a solid foundation for the proposed IRIG 106 Part 2 chapter structure. The proposed approach incorporates an application-centric paradigm by emphasizing application-to-application communication. One change proposal augments the current Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) application protocol with a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) application protocol that enables advanced data transfer features and other options. Another change proposal includes Data Channel enhancements resulting in a more harmonious relationship between statically and dynamically-defined Data Channels. This paper includes a high level transition plan for migrating towards this proposed approach for IRIG 106 Part 2.
