From Near-Earth orbit (NEO) to Earth-Sun Lagrangian points will continue to be a majority of Near Earth missions ranging from Near-Earth orbit (NEO) to Earth-Sun Lagrangian points will continue to be a majority of future space missions. A few works have been done with delay/disruption tolerant networking (DTN) technology for Near-Earth orbit (NEO)-space center and deep space communications and provided feasibility for its adoption in NEO-space and deep space missions. [1] However, no much work has been done to fully evaluate the transmission efficiency of DTN in such an environment, especially in the presence of long link disruption, data corruption and lost rate, and link asymmetry. In this paper, we present an experimental performance evaluation of DTN architecture and protocol stack, with Licklider transmission protocol (LTP) serving as a convergence layer adapter (CLA) underneath bundle protocol (BP), in typical NEO-satellite system and deep space communication infrastructures accompanied by a very long link delay, various packet corruption and lost rates, and channel rate symmetry and asymmetry. In addition, we present an experimental research of the transmission efficiency of DTN custody transfer with long link delay. The experiment was conducted by performing realistic file transfers over a virtual server-based test-bed.
