SPACE - Scalable Pubsub, Asymmetric and CachEd transport for Deep Space communications rev 00 lands on the IETF Datatracker
Deep Space communications can be benefited by a publish/subscribe, store-and-forward and asymmetric delivery network over IP that allows communications across links with high latencies and dynamic network conditions (losses and high bit error rates). This specification proposes to use Media over QUIC Transport (MOQT) [MoQTransport] as the common delivery protocol for deep space communications.

Summary
Deep Space communications can be benefited by a publish/subscribe, store-and-forward and asymmetric delivery network over IP that allows communications across links with high latencies and dynamic network conditions (losses and high bit error rates). This specification proposes to use Media over QUIC Transport (MOQT) [MoQTransport] as the common delivery protocol for deep space communications.
Analysis
This draft is directly relevant to the MOQ ecosystem and worth tracking because it reflects current protocol work or adjacent implementation guidance from the IETF process.
