This document describes the Licklider Transmission Protocol (LTP) designed
to provide retransmission-based reliability over links characterized by
extremely long message round-trip times (RTTs) and/or frequent
interruptions in connectivity. Since communication across interplanetary
space is the most prominent example of this sort of environment, LTP is
principally aimed at supporting "long- haul" reliable transmission in
interplanetary space, but has applications in other environments as well.
