ISO 18444:2013

ISO 18444:2013 specifies extensions to the API needed for support of the Return Operational Control Fields (ROCF) service defined in CSDS 911.5-B-1. ISO 18444:2013 defines extensions to the SLE API in terms of: the ROCF-specific functionality provided by API components; the ROCF-specific interfaces provided by API components; and the externally visible behavior associated with the ROCF interfaces exported by the components. It does not specify: individual implementations or products; the internal design of the components; and the technology used for communications. ISO 18444:2013 defines only interfaces and behavior that must be provided by implementations supporting the Return Operational Control Fields service in addition to the specification in CCSDS 914.0-M-1.
