Title : The DTN Bundle Protocol Payload Checksum Block
Author(s) : W. Eddy, L. Wood
Filename : draft-eddy-dtnrg-checksum-00.txt
Pages : 14
Date : 2007-8-15
The Delay-Tolerant-Networking Bundle Protocol includes a custody
transfer mechanism to provide acknowledgements of receipt for
particular bundles. No checksum is included in the basic DTN Bundle
Protocol, however, so it is not possible to verify that bundles have
been either forwarded or passed through various convergence layers
without errors having been introduced. This document partially
rectifies the situation by defining a Bundle Protocol extension for
carrying payload checksums and describes how its use can be
integrated with both custody transfer and fragmentation.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
