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).
