TP Protocol from Specification to Implementation

This chapter reports the design activity undertaken by the task-group that specifies and implements’ the TP specific components of OSI-TP. The design trajectory does not include the realization of the protocol, though some realization aspects are considered during the design process to enable a tailored implementation strategy. Only a subset of the TP-protocol functionality will be considered; only a profile of OSI-TP is selected as design example. These restrictions allo to focus on the main design issues instead of being entangled in complicated but irrelevant design details.
