Abstract

Internet protocol (IP) and time-triggered Ethernet (TTE) are two important emerging technologies for spacecraft information systems and networks. How the TCP/IP protocol stack, including the IPv6 protocol and the TTE be integrated into the integrated electronic system of spacecraft is introduced. In particular, it is studied that the implementation method of using IPv6 protocol on the time-triggered Ethernet. The problem that the embedded TTE network card does not have the built-in IPv6 protocol and cannot directly support IPv6 is solved. The integration and application of TTE and IPv6 are realized in the spacecraft integrated electronic software architecture. The experiments and tests can indicate its correctness and the effectiveness.
