LTP is intended for use over the current and envisaged packet delivery services used in the space environment, including:
– CCSDS conventional packet telecommand
– CCSDS conventional packet telemetry.
For space data links, LTP will typically be deployed over a CCSDS data link that supports CCSDS Encapsulation Packets so that one LTP segment can be encapsulated in a single Encapsulation Packet. LTP may also operate over a wide variety of ground-network services including those specified by the CCSDS for cross-support purposes.
