Next new demo just put on-line: flow control. This one draws diagrams of the traces of packets going across links (with and without a router) using software flow control, stop-and-wait flow control, go-back-N flow control and such like.<\/p>\n
Now available here: http:\/\/gswce.net\/?page_id=362#FlowControl<\/a><\/p>\n I’ve just used this for the first time myself in the IET Satellite Summer School, so I thought I should add it up here in case anyone there was looking for it. Otherwise I think I would have left it a little bit longer to do some more testing. I was finding bugs and odd behaviour right up to the morning before the presentation, so it’s likely there are a few bugs left in there.<\/p>\n If anyone suspects it of doing something odd please let me know; equally if anyone is planning to use this in a lecture themselves, I’d suggest they run through what they’re planning to show a few times first, just to check the demo does what they expect.<\/p>\n Next thing… well, I’ve been reminded recently that some of the more basic electronics chapter of the book might be useful to put up, so I might get back to those. Otherwise the next demo is likely to be one about routeing: there was an old VB6 routeing demo, but I really want something that can demonstrate multicast routeing schemes. Hopefully since I’ve done something similar before it won’t take too much time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Next new demo just put on-line: flow control.
