Editing Alternating bit protocol (section)

=== Bounded Retransmission Protocol ===
'''Bounded Retransmission Protocol''' (BRP) is a variant of the alternating bit protocol introduced by [[Philips]].<ref>{{cite journal |last=Burnett |first=D.J. |author2=Sethi, H.R. |year=1977 |title=Packet Switching at Philips Research Laboratories |url=http://rogerdmoore.ca/PS/NPLPh/PhilipsA.html |url-status=dead |journal=Computer Networks |volume=1 |issue=6 |pages=341–348 |doi=10.1016/0376-5075(77)90010-1 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131020142510/http://rogerdmoore.ca/PS/NPLPh/PhilipsA.html |archive-date=2013-10-20 |access-date=2013-08-30|url-access=subscription }}</ref> The service it delivers is to transfer in a reliable manner, if possible, large files (sequence of data of arbitrary length) from a sender to a receiver. Unlike ABP, BRP deals with sequence numbers of datum in the file and interrupts transfer after fixed number of retransmissions for a datum.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.irif.fr/~sighirea//trex/demos/brp.html|title=TreX's Examples -- Bounded Retransmission Protocol|website=www.irif.fr}}</ref>
