Abstract

This paper presents a method for specifying and analysing communication protocols using Numerical Petri Nets (NPNs). These nets are analysed using PROTEAN — a PROTocol Emulation and ANalysis computer aid which incorporates graphics. NPNs and PROTEAN are described and illustrated by the analysis of an Integrated Services Digital Network access protocol. Results of the application of the method to a number of "real world" protocols are reported.
