Abstract :
This paper contains a performance analysis of an error control protocol operating in a point-to-multipoint environment. This protocol, called broadcast go-back- 
[BGB( )], is a generalization of the standard go-back- point-to-point protocol. Expressions for the message throughput and expected message delay are obtained. Numerical results are provided for a satellite communications system.
