Abstract

This paper discusses techniques for selecting and synchronizing sequence numbers such that no errors will occur if certain network characteristics can be bounded and if adequate data error detection measures are taken. The discussion specifically focuses on the protocol described by Cerf and Kahn, (1) but the ideas are applicable to other similar protocols.
