To illustrate how payload data is being transmitted through a network, let us consider a
very simple network consisting of 3 Nodes:
Figure 7
In the example, Node A is neighbour to Node B, and Node B is neighbour to both Node
A & Node C. The application layer at Node A wants to transmit a payload package to
the application layer at Node C using Acknowledged Transmission. In the following
figure, the Scheduled data events between the nodes are illustrated as well as how the
Payload Package travels from node to node, and how the acknowledge travels back to
the originator:
Figure 8
Initially the application layer enqueues the payload package in Node A. When Node A
transmits Scheduled Data next time, it will also transmit the payload package. Node B
will receive the payload package, and hold on to it until it is time to transmit scheduled
data. When Node B transmits Scheduled Data, the payload is included, and Node C
