  • Abstract
    This paper demonstrates the use of Specification and Description Language (SDL) to design the converging flows protocol (CFP). The converging flows problem arises when several sources transmit simultaneously to a destination and the sum of all the flows is greater than the processing rate of the destination. The CFP is designed to throttle the sources to ensure that buffers at a destination do not overflow, and allocate resources fairly to all sources in accordance with their needs
