A communication protocol
We were interested in designing a communication protocol which can be used
to tranfer files between personal computers. We have made a cable which
connects the parallel ports, and is able to transfer 2 bits in either
direction (instructions in the paper). Using this facility as a primitive,
we designed protocols to establish the connection, and protocols to
transfer data from one machine to the other. Our protocols did not use any
timing, are stable, and extremely reliable.
