Abstract
This report develops a theory of packet communication; it analyzes users of computers in digital communication systems and examines structures for organizing computers in highly communicative environments. Various examples from existing computer networks, including the ARPA Computer Network and the ALOHA System, are used to motivate and substantiate analysis of (1) store-and-forward packet communication, (2) broadcast packet communication, and (3) distributed interprocess communication.
