Abstract
Complete behavior of a communication protocol can be very large. It is worth investigating whether partial exploration of the behavior generates reasonable results. We present such a procedure which performs partial exploration using most-probable-first search. Some of the ideas used in this procedure are based on a convolutional decoding procedure due to Jelinek and a performance evaluation procedure due to Rudin. Multiple trees of protocol behavior are constructed. Some results on estimating the probability of encountering an unexplored state in a finite run of a protocol are also presented.
