. . . I think it is more common in this application area to use discrete-event modeling (as in the DE domain) and finite state machines (as in the FSM domain). Several people made essentially this point; it's well-taken and I basically agree. I'm wrestling with the problem of finding a

Bill: Dataflow alone is perhaps not ideal for networking applications since it is awkward to specify control using pure dataflow. There are several possibilities: 1) Dataflow + FSM. A hierarchical combination of these might be a good solution. We have an experimental formalism called
