The increasing number of computer networks has aroused users'
interest in many and various fields of applications, in how a
computer network can be built, and in how it may be used. The
fundamental rules of computer networks are the protocols. "A
protocol is a set of rules that governs the operation of functional
units to achieve communication" [STA-86}. The book follows a
practical approach to protocol speci fication and testing, but at
the same time it introduces clearly and precisely the relevant
theoretical fundamentals. The principal objectives of this work
are: to familiarize readers with communication protocols, to
present the main, formal description techniques, to apply various
formal description techniques to protocol specification and
testing. It is considered that the readership will primarily
consist of protocol developers, protocol users, and all who utilize
protocol testers. Secondly the book is suggested for postgraduate
courses or other university courses dealing with communication
networks and data communication. A large part of the book provides
a comprehensive overview for managers; some parts are of especial
interest to postal organizations. The book consists of three parts:
the first part introduces the OS! Reference Model, it provides an
overview of the most frequently used protocols and explains the
fundamentals of protocol testing. The second part familiarizes
readers with the methods used for protocol 5pecification,
generation, and testing. Finite-state machines, formal grammars,
Petri nets and some speCification languages (SDL, ESTELLE, LOTOS)
are discussed in a pragmatic style. The third part deals with
applications.
