Abstract:
The approaches used to model communication protocols suffered several changes in past years. Some of the modeling languages are not used anymore because of their complexity, others because of their inherent limitations that were pointed out over time. Even today an approach that can represent a protocol in many abstraction levels is welcome. The objective of this article is to introduce an approach to model a communication protocol using the Unified Modeling Language (UML). The purpose is to create models that are able to represent an Internet architecture in many abstractions levels and different concerns, including structural level and services definitions. Besides, we propose an evaluation of the generated model, showing main advantages, such as representing architectural modeling, and limitations, such as representing time, non-functional constraints and physical resources when modeling communication protocols using UML
