   Title:   An Interplanetary DNS Model

Abstract:

   As human activity continues to spread beyond the Earth, so must the
   communications systems which support that activity continue to expand
   in scope.  One such case, Internet naming, presents particular
   challenges when considering a multi-planet civilization.  Proper
   operation of terrestrial DNS services and clients require constant,
   reasonably low latency connectivity to operate properly.  These
   conditions are distinctly not present when considering interplanetary
   links; high latency and frequent disruption due to space weather
   events and general link availability prevail.  To overcome these
   challenges in space networking, a delay and distruption tolerant
   (DTN) suite of protocols has been developed based on a store and
   forward mechanism, Bundle Protocol(BP).  This DTN network, which
   optimizes to ensure bundle delivery, does not allow for end to end
   encapsulation of IP packets beyond terrestrial boundaries, as the
   latency still creates issues completing network transactions, even in
   the unlikely event of continuous link availability.
