            Abstract : 
The paper deals with the definition of time constraints on data validity and proposes mechanisms which may be included in protocols to verify on line if constraints are met or not. The authors introduce a state-machine to integrate mechanisms in the communication protocols to inform application processes about the temporal validity of the information they consume
