Reliable data transfer: getting started

We’ll:

• incrementally develop sender, receiver sides of reliable data transfer protocol (rdt)

• consider only unidirectional data transfer

  • but control info will flow on both directions!

• use finite state machines (FSM) to specify sender, receiver

event causing state transition

actions taken on state transition

state: when in this “state” next state uniquely determined by next event
