Alternating Bit Protocol
The alternating bit protocol is part of the 4th OSI transport layer. It allows the exchange of messages betweeen two entities, a transmitter and a receiver, linked by unreliable communication channels.
The protocol is composed by four asynchronous processes: a transmitter, a receiver and the two communication channels between them. The communication is performed via 6 ports, which link the processes and their environnment. The SMI description of this protocol is given in the following files:
bitalt.exp

|[ SEND, RECEIVE, ACK, SENDACK]|
