SWP (Sliding Window Protocol) is a connection-less protocol in one
|
|
direction between a pair of users. It allows data to be sent in one
|
|
direction subject to a maximum number of unacknowledged messages. If SWP is
|
|
operated with a window size of 1, it is equivalent to the <a
|
|
href="ABP.html">Alternating Bit Protocol</a>. The simulation below includes
|
|
the users; the <a href="SWP3.html">three-column</a> version omits them.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The protocol has a maximum number of messages that can be sent without
|
|
acknowledgement. If this window becomes full, the protocol is blocked
|
|
until an acknowledgement is received for the earliest outstanding
|
|
message. At this point the transmitter is clear to send more messages.
|

<h2>Protocol Parameters</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The following settings are adequate for a simple simulation. For a more
|
|
advanced exploration, choose different options and click <em>Change
|
|
Settings</em>. This may cause the simulation to restart.

<h2>Protocol Simulation</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The protocol simulation shows a time-sequence diagram with users A and B,
|
|
protocol entities A and B that support them, and a communications medium
|
|
that carries messages. Users request data transmissions with
|
|
<em>DatReq(DATAn),</em> and receive data transmissions as
|
|
<em>DatInd(DATAn)</em>. Data messages are simply numbered <em>DATA0</em>,
|
|
<em>DATA1</em>, etc. without explicit content. The transmitting protocol
|
|
sends the protocol message <em>DT(n)</em> that gives only the sequence
|
|
number, not the data. Once sequence numbers reach a maximum number (like
|
|
7), they wrap back round to 0. An acknowledgement <em>AK(n)</em> means
|
|
that the <em>DT</em> message numbered <em>n</em> is the next one expected
|
|
(i.e. all messages up to but not including this number have been
|
|
received). Since sequence numbers wrap round, an acknowledgement with
|
|
sequence number 1 refers to messages 0, 1, 7, 6, etc. Note that if a
|
|
<em>DT</em> message is received again due to re-transmission, it is
|
|
acknowledged but discarded.
