Abstract
With the rapid development of Space Information Network and users’ demand for communication services, interconnecting heterogeneous space networks becomes a new trend of SIN development. Networks using different protocols, such as TCP/IP, CCSDS and DTN, cannot communicate directly. In order to interconnect heterogeneous networks and face the problems brought by the challenged environment, this paper designs a multi-protocol onboard router which depends on the “store-and-forward” mechanism in DTN network protocol, as a relay with the ability of multi-protocol switching in order to support communication services among heterogeneous networks.
