 * Flow and Retransmission Control Task *

 

-The flow and retransmission control task, originally known as the

-Error and Flow Control Protocol, provides the flow with flow control

-and (if needed) retransmission control. It consists of two parts: Data

-Transfer (DT) and Data Transfer Control (DTC). DT is for instance
