Validating DCCP Simultaneous Feature Negotiation Procedure

Validating DCCP Simultaneous-Open and Feature Negotiation Procedures

“…The rest is done by us [1], [8], [17]- [19], [22], [23]. Although our work is influenced by [9], they are quite different.…”

“…This work involves protocols both network and transport layers. The feature negotiation procedure of DCCP has been modelled and analysed in [19].…”

“…If both sides are not aware of reaching an agreement with different CCIDs, the situation will be very harmful and currently there is no recovery mechanisms. Our work in [19] revealed that without DCCP connection management model, the simultaneous negotiation procedure could be broken even on a FIFO lossless channel. We also suggested two solutions to fix the problem.…”

“…While the DCCP connection management and the feature negotiation were separately modelled and validated in [17]- [19], [22], this paper pursues a further step by combining both procedures together. Thus, the complexity of the model and the probability of errors increase significantly.…”

“…To alleviate the state explosion, a number of techniques have been proposed such as symmetry and equivalence [11], partial order [3], and sweep-line methods [22]. This paper proposes to reuse the CPN models from the previous work [17], [19], [22] to ensure the model correctness and adopt the prioritized transitions to make the model analyzable and alleviate the state explosion.…”
