Designing Communication
for DF1 Full-Duplex
Protocol
When designing communication using DF1 full-duplex protocol, you
must configure timeout values and retry counts that control the
communication between a transmitting station and a receiving station.
Consider the type of link media you are using to help you determine
the best values for the timer and counters. For example, you can
expect a message being sent over a satellite link to take longer than
one being sent over a telephone leased-line link.
Figure 1.8 shows the
communication sequence for DF1 full-duplex protocol.
