In a two-way conversation, both sides send and receive data. Because the two sides must take turns talking, they use the following protocol:

  1. Only one person can talk at a time.

  2. The person that initiated the conversation talks first after communication is established.

  3. The person talking must relinquish control before the other person can speak.

  4. The person with permission to speak is the only one who can end the conversation.

Figure 2-3 “Two-Way Phone Conversation Without Confirm” is an illustration of a two-way conversation without confirm. Because a two-way conversation is more complex than a one-way conversation, more control information is needed to manage it.
