This paper presents the specification and validation of a high performance error control protocol. A formal specification model of the protocol was described using the PROMELA language. Formal analysis of the protocol model was validated using the SPIN validation tool. The uncovering of several subtle properties of the protocol has demonstrated the advantage of employing formal validation methods in designing distributed systems.
