code guessing, round #97, stage 1 (writing)

started at . submit by

specification

I want to talk to my friend overseas, but my messages keep dropping. can you be an error-correcting transmission protocol for me? submissions may be written in any spoken language.

in a departure for code guessing, your submission need not be executable. instead, you will submit a technical specification that describes a protocol of your own design.

this challenge is fairly open-ended, and does not define what it means to be a "transmission protocol". you might design a transport layer protocol atop of IP, akin to TCP, or adopt a more simplistic fantasy model, or make your own analogue of IP, or something else.

good luck.
