    Abstract

    This paper concerns the transfer of fies via a lossy communication channe. It formally specifies this file transfer service in a propert-oriented way and investigates - using two different techniques - whether a given bounded retransmission protocol conforms to this service This protocol is based on the
    well-known alternating bit protocol but allows for a bounded number of retransmission of a frame, i.e., part of a file, only. So, eventual delivery is not guaranteed and the protocol may abort the file transfer. We investigate to what extent real-time aspects are important to guarantee the protocol's correctness and use SPIN and UPPAAL model checking for our purpose. A comparison between these approaches is made and our experiences are reported.
