The Interplanetary Internet (IPN) is an architecture for standardized communication between nodes located on or around different celestial bodies. The key concept of the IPN is to use standard Internet protocols within local high-bandwidth, low-latency networks and to interconnect these networks using an "interplanetary backbone" comprised of satellites and ground stations communicating using specialized protocols designed for use in low-bandwidth, high-latency networks. This thesis focuses on the performance within local networks constructed for use in an IPN setting. Delay Tolerant Networking (DTN) is a protocol designed to solve the challenges of IPN. This thesis studies the performance characteristics of the Interplanetary Overlay Network (ION), an implementation of the DTN protocol. A hardware test bench was constructed using two high-performance computers directly connected via a 10 Gbps link. A software tool was devised to test the throughput over this link under various configurations of ION. Through this testing, improvements to ION and configuration recommendations were found to increase the performance of ION in 10 Gbps networks. The main increases in performance were the result of locking the threads of ION to the same CPU core and increasing the shared memory allocation to convergence layer processes. Performance of ION was also studied on a test bench utilizing an ARM A53 processor which uses the same ARMv8 architecture used in the High Performance Spaceflight Computing architecture.
