- A distributed model of computation (MoC) where a group of deterministic sequential processes are communicating through unbounded FIFO channels
- Determinism

Processes can be modeled as sequential programs that do reads and writes to ports in any order or quantity as long as determinism property is preserved. As a consequence, KPN model is deterministic so that following factors entirely determine outputs of the system:
- processes
- the network
- initial tokens
Hence, timing of the processes does not affect outputs of the system.
