Stanag 5066 Pdf

[Channing Arther]

Thereis a requirement for a link level service to operate over the standard HF modem protocols, to provide services such as ARQ, segmentation, data checksum, segmentation and application multiplexing. STANAG 5066 is the only open standard that addresses this in a reasonable manner to provide appropriate flexibility.

STANAG 5066 is broadly satisfactory. A number of changes are needed, which are set out in this document. These can be addressed in a straightforward incremental manner to provide an HF link layer service that can be used long term.

This document starts with a set of explicit proposals for incremental changes that have been set out in the STANAG 5066 Extension Protocol (S5066-EP) series. These proposals modify the protocol exchanged between STANAG 5066 servers. These have been designed so that they can be introduced incrementally.

STANAG 5066 has a maximum window size of 128. This limits ARQ performance at the higher speeds of narrow band HF and leads to unacceptable performance for WBHF/HFXL. The paper [STANAG 5066 Large Window Support] addresses this.

These are addressed by the paper [Data Rate Selection in STANAG 5066 for Autobaud Waveforms]. Isode strongly recommends adoption of this specification and also complete removal of the current DRC mechanism, which is complex and not useful now that autobaud waveforms are generally available.

The paper [Slotted Option for STANAG 5066 Annex K] defines an approach which improves performance and resilience for small CSMA networks. It also clarifies use of single and multiple CAS-1 links, which will address interoperability issues with Annex K implementations that do not follow this specification.

ALE is important to use with STANAG 5066. Although this does not impact protocol, it seems important that the approaches used are clearly specified and STANAG 5066 should be updated to properly address this with reference to the NATO ALE standards. This is straightforward specification work.

This supports a common scenario of multiple nodes sharing a set of frequencies. STANAG 5066 Server will need to request establishing ALE link prior to CAS-1 (with ALE Station derived from STANAG 5066 Node Address), and operate one CAS-1 link at a time.

ALE can be used to establish multi-node networks. This means that ALE can be used with Annex L (WRTP) and Annex K (CSMA) networks. Use of ALE enables such networks to adapt to conditions and select best frequency.

When a system (e.g., a shore station) has access to multiple modems but there are more peers (e.g., mobile units) than modems there is a need to share modems between the operational units. A solution to this is described in the HFIA presentation.

STANAG 5066 defines a number of interfaces between components. These interfaces do not impact end to end interoperability, and so vendors can progress these areas without standardization. However, some interfaces would benefit from standardization.

SIS (Subnet Interface Service) is the STANAG 5066 protocol between applications using STANAG 5066 and a STANAG 5066 server. While it provides a viable basic service, it has some critical deficiencies:

When Unidata is received, it is transferred to the application with a Unidata Indication. There is no Unidata Confirm back from application to STANAG 5066. This is a minor design error that needs to be corrected and can lead to unreliability in certain situations.

Annex E defines a simplistic serial line modem control protocol. This is not useful for anyone. Ideally a modern TCP based control protocol would be standardized. This would need to be agreed between modem vendors. The practical situation is that this control is going to be vendor proprietary.

An option for TCP interface to a modem should be added. Such an interface is specified in MIL-STD-188-110C Appendix A. This interface should be a part of STANAG 5066. This will be particularly useful if the crypto layer is moved upwards.

MIL-STD-188-110C Appendix A is designed for modem support and is not suitable for STANAG 5066 communication to a Crypto box. As communication to a Crypto box is the standard configuration a standard TCP protocol to achieve this would be highly desirable. To be useful, this protocol would need to be supported by Crypto vendors. MIL-STD-188-110C Appendix A might be used as the basis for such a protocol.

Annex L (Wireless Token Ring) is an interesting new part of STANAG 5066 Ed3. Deployment experience with this is limited. The STANAG 5066 update should seek experience with Annex L deployment, and plan to update Annex L in light of this experience. Two possible change areas are:

STANAG 5066 has grown around a core designed for 1200 bps support: the core has been tweaked and a series of annexes added. The result is now difficult for the inexperienced to understand. The document needs a major tidy up and restructure to reflect current and evolving use and goals. Removal of elements no longer needed will clean the specification and facilitate adoption and interoperability. The rest of this section summarizes changes needed.

Hard links in STANAG 5066 are a complex part of the service interface and the details are bizarre. They do not seem useful and we do not believe they are ever used. Recommend to remove hard links from STANAG 5066.

Annex H contains implementation guidelines and notes. Some of this material is interesting, but relates to 1200 bps deployment and below. Ideally this information needs updating to provide modern guidelines.

The media access model set out in Annex J belongs in the core. It does not really make sense to operate without either Annex K or Annex L (or future new media access mechanisms) and this needs to be set out more clearly.

The core STANAG 5066 text is focused on simplex operation. STANAG 5066 supports duplex operation, but this needs clarification. Notes provided by Nigel Arthurs of Selex are a good basis for this clarification.

STANAG 5066 provides peer protocols that operate above an HF modem and below the application level. STANAG 5066 includes the mandatory SIS (Subnet Interface Sublayer, sometimes called Subnet Interface Service) protocol that enables an application to connect to an HF modem through a STANAG 5066 server over TCP/IP. This enables a clean separation between application and modem.

The standard also defines two more layers, CAS which is intended to establish connections to other HF nodes and control the status of these connections, and DTS, which controls all the data manipulation for transmission (slicing, directioning, timing...) and the reconstruction in reception.

R&SSTANAG 5066 supports the widely used ACP 127 message handling system with an error correction feature to automate correct message reception.

International HF trials demonstrated interoperability with other STANAG 5066 systems.

A COSS client enables serial data to be wrapped in an error-free transmission protocol. The ACP 127 standard does not define mechanisms to automatically request the resending of corrupt received or missing data packages. The STANAG 5066 COSS option compensates for this drawback, reducing the operator's manual message management.

(HF IP Client with IP PEP)The TCP service is provided using the HF IP Client, which is a BRE1TA/BRIPES requirement. The performance of the TCP service is usually not very good over HF due to high latencies. The high latencies also typically limit the amount of queued data. When combined with the RapidM IP PEP, the performance of TCP is similar to that of UDP. The TCP service could be used for various services, including standard SMTP, FTP and HTTP.STANAG 5066 Services (RapidM Proprietary)File Transfer
