ABSTRACT:
A broadcast protocol system which uses a plurality of distributed computers which are electrically connected by a broadcast medium. Each message is broadcast to all computers with a header in which there is a message identifier containing the identity of the broadcasting processor and a message sequence number. A retransmission number is also included in the identifier to distinguish retransmissions. Each processor maintains an acknowledgement list of message identifiers with positive and negative acknowledgements.
