And do you know ANY Internet protocols where that happens?My consideration at the moment is only coordinated sessions. Sessions that are aware of each others logic and are behaving in concert.
This is actually a pretty good observation.
Internet protocols don't work this way, and it has not been considered necessary to state this for each protocol.
The architects of Internet protocols lack the prescience to envision every possible way in which some person could conceive that a protocol could work. It is arguable that the possibilities are completely open-ended, and that it is impossible to present an exhaustive list of the ways in which the protocol does not work.
