Abstract
An important issue in computer network design is end-to-end control, a term covering error control and flow control. The validity of schemes for these purposes may be demonstrated using simple formal models, in which assertions about central program variables are proven. S. Krogdahl [2] and D. E. Knuth [1] have shown the validity of error control for a class of data link protocols using such methods. In this paper their method is extended to cover flow control. The method is illustrated by proving assertions for a simple case, and it is shown how complex systems may be seen as compositions of the simple case.
