This protocol provides services to support the execution of distributed atomic transactions in the OSI environment. The structure presented influences the implementation of other application contexts. \par In this text it is also shown the way the upper layers protocols are being implemented in a didactic communication system called SISDI-OSI (Sistema Didático para o Modelo OSI---Didactic System for the OSI Model) in terms of process configuration and interprocess communication mechanisms. The experiences with protocol implementations for this system are then commented. } }
