Implementation and validation of the SpaceWire-R protocol: SpaceWire networks and protocols, short paper

The paper deals with the aspects of implementation and validation of the SpaceWire-R protocol as carried out in the ESA-funded project SpaceR. We give a brief overview of the SpaceWire-R protocol for providing reliable data transfer services over SpaceWire networks and describe the SpW-R protocol software implementation elaborated in the SpaceR project. The testing platform developed for validation of the protocol is presented, as well as preliminary SpW-R performance results obtained within the project.
