Abstract
This chapter presents a distributed program that implements the reliable transport service (Chap. 20) over an LRD (loss, reorder, duplication) channel, as illustrated in Fig. 21.1. In computer networking, such a program is referred to as a transport protocol. Following this terminology, we refer to the system at each address as a “tp” system, where “tp” is short for transport protocol. We refer to the messages exchanged between tp users as “data blocks”, and reserve the term “messages” for the messages exchanged between the tp systems; the former would be sent inside the latter.
