We begin by summarizing the services to be provided by the protocol and then describe the overall ideas of how thesearetobeprovided. E cient transfer of datagrams over ATM network. The purpose of the protocol is to transfer datagrams over ATM networks. Simplex communication. The protocol is only to provide the user with functionality for one way transfer of messages. If two way communication is needed, the user needs to establish a second connection in the opposite direction. Reliable communication. The service provided by the protocol is to be reliable. When a message is transferred and handed to the receiver, the protocol is to guarantee the integrity of the transferred data. Flow and congestion control. To adapt to the physical characteristics on which the protocol is to be used, the protocol is to include ow and congestion control. Minimal copying. To support e minimized. cient transfer of data the copying of data is to be
