Unix Service example - Telnet no Listener

The user start a telnet session. His session is rejected as there is no listener active. This happens when the used service (in this case telnet) is not configured or started. This is the shortest msg-flow as it ends with the first choice available. This example is more about the TCP messages, use the pop-up in the ASCII below to see more information. Currently there are not that many permutations (24) as it is straight forward and also limited in amount of repetitions. Perhaps if there is interest than the intended flows are added in the future. Use the choices on the right to make different diagrams.

You can and paste the above flow representation in a text file or in your favourite text editor using a monospace font. Ofcourse you will loose the context sensitive output and the links towards additional information.

Decission table

The decission table shows which decissions have been made so far and which to make. The header contains the choice number and the entity making the choice. The choices are shown from left (latest) to right (earlier) which make it handier to follow or adapts. All choices you could have choisen on a specific level are displayed. You can click on the description to make a different choice.
