Viljamaa 

Keywords: APR98  ALGORITHMS  PROTOCOL  COMMUNCATIONS   OOP

Description: Unpublished source code accompanying the article by 

Kari Grano, Jukka Paakki, Jukka Viljamaa, and Antti Viljamaa.

This archive is a sample/test implementation of goback-n protocol.  

In addition to that specification, it includes processes for 

connection management and user I/O. Flow control is handled with 

the sliding window method. This package is self-contained and 

contains precompiled binaries (for Linux). If use the example 

package with KED, you'll find that it uses its own format (input 

file 'gbn.ked') which includes graphical information etc. KED 

generates from gbn.ked the Kannel source file gbn.k as well as 

the project file gbn.prj which is then fed to the Kannel 

compiler. Requires UNZIP/PKUNZIP to extract. Use the -d option to 

maintain directory structure.

This archive contains the process definitions. In this sense it 

is complete (KANNEL.TXT is a subset, although it lack the debug 

output messages found in KANNEL2.ZIP). In addition to processes, 

you need the message and queue handling classes defined in files: 

if_q.k, if_q_it.k, and messages.k, which are included in 

KANNEL1.ZIP. Requires UNZIP/PKUNZIP to extract.
