<h2>Protocol Description</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
ABP (Alternating Bit Protocol) is a connection-less protocol for
|
|
transferring messages in one direction between a pair of protocol
|
|
entities. It is a simple form of the <a href="SWP3.html">Sliding Window
|
|
Protocol</a> with a window size of 1. The message sequence numbers simply
|
|
alternate between 0 and 1.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<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 will cause the simulation to restart.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Optionally set the level of control that the simulator user needs over
|
|
the medium:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<dl>
|
|
|
|
<dt><b>Automatic</b>:</dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
Messages are delivered immediately without loss. This is suitable for
|
|
initial experimentation, but limits what can be explored. For example,
|
|
message are never lost and never have to be timed out and resent.
|
|
</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><b>Delivery</b>:</dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
Alternatively, message delivery may be controlled - though messages
|
|
will still never be lost. Choose this option to allow messages to be
|
|
delivered in different orders and to be resent.
|
|
</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><b>Delivery/Loss</b>:</dt>
|
|
<dd>
|
|
Finally, delivery and loss of messages may be completely controlled.
|
|
This is the most comprehensive option, but also the most complex one to
|
|
manage.

<h2>Protocol Simulation</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The protocol simulation shows a time-sequence diagram with transmitting
|
|
and receiving protocol entities, and a communications medium that carries
|
|
messages. The transmitter simply sends messages numbered <em>DATA(0)</em>
|
|
or <em>DATA(1)</em>; the content of messages is not identified. These are
|
|
acknowledged with <em>ACK(1)</em> or <em>ACK(0)</em> respectively. Note
|
|
that if a <em>DATA</em> message is received again due to re-transmission,
|
|
it is acknowledged but discarded.
