Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to have a close look at the class of problems that arise in the interconnection of different computer systems through a packet switching network.

The layered protocol's architecture is assumed to separate functionally and to identify the tasks to be performed in the various parts of the network, either in the packet switching subnetwork, or in the end processors. Concepts are then introduced to identify the characteristic parameters of each protocol layer. A further step is carried out by considering a sample architecture built on well-known protocols at different levels, up to the transport level, and developing an analysis of their interaction in order to identify interdependencies and constraint relations on the values of the characteristic parameters.
