description The world of telecommunications, from some years, is revitalizing an high interest to Deep Space Communication (DSC) and Delay Tolerant Network (DTN) architecture as enabling technologies to offer internet services for aerospace vehicles or orbital stations. The communications between the planets in the solar system is well known to present a series of problems that need to be faced. The fundamental challenge with InterPlanetary Communication (IPC) is the intermittent Line of Sight (LoS) caused by planets movement and the significant propagation time. A possible way to face with it is the use of a DTN approach where routers use a store-and-forward transmission in a hop-by-hop message exchange mechanism. Thanks to this approach, it is possible to face many issues related to the transport layer. The main contribution of this work concerns the proposal of a bundle management layer able to assign at the receiver the appropriate bundle rate on the basis of concurrent bundle transmissions, the output link capacity and buffer resources. The proposed strategy can be integrated with a routing algorithm for InterPlanetary Networks (IPNs) and DTN networks. In our case we consider the Earliest Arrival Optimal Delivery Ratio (EAODR) routing that applies a modified temporal graph to select the IPN nodes. Performance evaluation have been led out to show the benefits of our proposal on the single links and also on the routing scheme in terms of bundle delivery ratio and average bundle delivery time.
