The people who have spent decades working in CCSDS, who developed and
standardised the SCPS stack based on TCP/IP, who developed and standardised
CFDP (which runs over TCP/IP), and who are currently standardising the bundle
protocol as the latest effort to get space to adopt networking, would, of
course, strongly disagree with your statement that there are still no standards
for space.

But what do they know?
The ETSI group who standardised satellite communication and carriage of IP
traffic with DVB-S2 (and extensions) and DVB-RCS , would, of course, strongly
disagree with your statement that there are still no standards for space.

But what do they know?
Again, I'm backing my statements with references, so that they are not merely
unsupported assertions. (And why is UDP inefficient?)

I was discussing/commenting on the subject as the thread did about using space
internet protocols on satellites, still no standards for space.

The Moon is arguably a satellite of Earth, but the distances are different from
LEO and GEO. That affects TCP performance.
TCP was designed with geostationary satellite hops in mind - see eg RFC829. I
use TCP across geostationary satellites daily.
I back up my statements with experience and references. What do you back yours
with? Why is UDP inefficient?

So if TCP has problems then MPTCP has problems then they may not be preferred
for that satellite networking. For LEO SATNETs also there are problems for
using TCP. The UDP is a good solution in general but not efficient, but always
I think the SATNETs may need some special internet transport protocols because
they are having more dynamics in the net's lower layers.

AFAIK vanilla ftp/TCP has (only?) been used on CHIPsat from LEO, but that did
not have much data to transfer.
We designed http://saratoga.sf.net with the idea of a continuous UDP stream of
data from Pluto in mind...

Transport protocol for satellites depend on the applications, the network
dynamics, links and transmission channels. IMO the use of MPTCP for Back2Earth
may not be the best option making the communication complex, not sure why did
you hope to use it with this project.
