In sliding window protocol, the window buffer stores the unacknowleged messages which will be retransmitted when timeout occurs, and multiple timers are needed since one per message. Using Estelle to specify the timeout behavior, it seems that only periodical retransmission of window buffer can be specified using the delay statement (i.e.,using only one timer). Is ther any nice way to specify such multiple independent timers using Estelle ? Thanks for any information. Chi-Sharn Wu swu@cs.ucla.edu

Just make a separate transition for each timer. For example any i : 1 .. 20 provided sent[i] and not acked[i] delay(mintimeout, maxtimeout) name retrans: begin output outip.windowsaved[i] end; All the delays will run independantly. -- Darren
