Abstract
In this paper we study some link control protocols for use in point-to-multipoint communication over broadcast links. We concentrate on automatic repeat request protocols of the go-back- 
type and define, analyze, and compare three such protocols. A major contribution of this paper is a relatively simple protocol which is easy to implement and performs very well under a wide range of conditions. Our analytical models show that this protocol performs considerably better than the other go-back- protocols, particularly in environments with a large number of receivers.
