One problem with space communication is the limited use of standards. Currently, special communication and application software is adapted to aspacecraft's sensor systems and manipulators. In the Internet world, we use standards called the TCP/IP protocol suite--packet switching and store-and-forward methods--to allow a lot of different devices, billions of things, to interact compatibly with each other. The Interplanetary Internet project is primarily about developing a set of communication standards and technical specifications to support rich networking in space environments.
