Simulation of data link layer of communication protocols using Ada

Communication and networking are vast areas which are developing rapidly. It is very important to know in detail how the system works, how it can be enhanced to meet today's requirement, how to implement the appropriate techniques to obtain desired results etc. To explain all of the above, simulation techniques were adopted. Simulation plays an important role in developming new designs and modifying existing systems to make them more feasible and efficient.Protocols are the back bones of the communication systems and play a major role in data transfer. The review of literature provides an explanation of ISO/OSI models, layered approach and concepts of simulation. The simulation was carried out to explain the concepts of error detection, error correction and flow control in Data Link layer. Ada was used to develop the software, because of its concurrent processing tools called tasks. Also state-of-the-art utilities like Vax/Vms Screen Management System, File Definition Language, and Debugger were us ed in the program development. / Department of Computer Science
