1 Scope
This document describes the requirements involved in ship to shore data communication
between the shipboard data servers and the on-shore data servers. It provides information
on:
-
— asynchronous communication;
-
— a method to measure end-to-end communication quality;
-
— transport integrity;
-
— transport security (e.g. encryption, authentication and authorization);
-
— management of data transmission (e.g. prioritization, logging, carrier awareness/management);
-
— communication optimization (e.g. deduplication, compression, resume, multiplexing);
-
— compliance with the data communication protocols, including but not limited to ISO 19847.
This document does not cover:
-
— the security of the data producer/consumer (e.g. identity management);
-
— communication equipment requirements;
-
— carrier performance requirements (e.g. bandwidth and latency).
