Pattern Language for Architecture of Protocol Systems.

This paper presents the pattern language for architecture of communication protocols. This is a pattern language that aids a developer faced with the task of designing a networked system for the very first time. The pattern language has to parts: one for communication protocol specification and one for communication protocol design. The part for communication protocol specification contains patterns for protocol structure and protocol messages. Patterns for communication protocol messages are one of the most important part of this pattern language, and also one of the most important part of any communication protocol architecture. The part of language for communication protocol design contains more implementation oriented patterns.
