DESCRIPTION:It's easy enough to use an Internet router in the lab\; less e
 asy once it's been rocketed to orbit. It's one thing to run code for delay
 -tolerant networking on your desktop\, another to run it in space. But doi
 ng all of that gives insights into where and why technology can (or can't)
  get adopted for space\, and where reuse across both space and terrestrial
  networks can be likely (and unlikely) to occur. An overview of lessons le
 arned from experience gained from spending years doing stuff for space is 
 given.\n\nBio: Lloyd Wood is a Chartered Engineer with experience in compu
 ting\, networking and aerospace. \n\nAs a space initiatives manager for Ci
 sco Systems'\nGlobal Government Solutions Group\, Lloyd was responsible fo
 r CLEO\, the Cisco router in Low Earth Orbit. Lloyd spent some years makin
 g contributions to the Internet Engineering Task Force and modifying IOS\,
  Cisco's router software...\nso he's gone on to fly his own code in space.
  Working with colleagues at NASA Glenn Research Center and Surrey Satellit
 e Technology Ltd\, Lloyd achieved the first tests from space of\nIPv6 and 
 of the delay-tolerant networking bundle protocol intended for the 'Interpl
 anetary Internet.' \n\nLloyd gained his PhD from the Centre for Communicat
 ion Systems Research at the University of Surrey\, where he researched int
 ernetworking with satellite constellations\, and to where he has returned 
 as a research fellow working on satellite networking.\nFurther information
