 The Armed Conflict in Chechnya before the Russian Constitutional Court   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The Court determined that at the international level the provisions of Protocol II were binding on both parties to the armed conflict and that the actions of the Russian armed forces in the conduct of the Chechen conflict violated Russia's international obligations under Additional Protocol II to the 1949 Geneva Conventions.
It should be noted that states parties to Protocol II tend normally to do their utmost to avoid admitting the applicability of this Protocol to conflicts within their borders.
It is important to emphasise the determination by the Court that the Russian Parliament had failed to pass legislation to implement Protocol II, and that this failure was one of the grounds - probably even the primary ground - for non-compliance by Russian military authorities with the rules embodied in the Protocol.

Similarly, the Protocol II provisions that are set out in Article 6 regarding standards for the prosecution and punishment of criminal offences related to armed conflict, all have their unrestrictable, non-derogable equivalents, inter alia, under the ICCPR and the Torture Convention.
[29] Second, Protocol II is notoriously difficult to apply both because the threshold for material application of Protocol II is considered quite high, and because states that are engaged in internal armed conflicts almost always refuse to accept that the Protocol applies to their situation.
[30]  Thus Protocol II, which was established in order to supplement the very rudimentary protections of Common Article 3, often proves a very unreliable source of protection for victims of internal armed conflict.

This has allowed the protocol to address more of the core features needed for reliable delivery without becoming overly complicated, and allows the "best of breed" of these separate components (both of which are the subject of very active research) to be used as they become mature.
In a reliable multicast protocol, one of the major issues is deciding when to declare to a sender that all receivers have successfully received a packet so that it can be discarded from the sender's retransmission buffers.
The protocol is designed to allow all receivers to continue to receive a data stream in the face of the failure of any single interior node.

High-level Data-Link Control (HDLC) is a protocol from ISO, which also conforms to the OSI model.
To make matters more confusing, most middle-layer protocols on the market today do not fit neatly into the OSI model's transport and session layers, since many were created before the ISO began work on the OSI model.
Where existing protocols are not incorporated, interfaces to the OSI model are being implemented.
