 During the transfer process `TERMINATING` phase, the `DataFlowController` will send a `DataFlowTerminateMessage` to the data plane. The data plane will transition the data flow to the `TERMINATED` state and invalidate the associated access token.
 
+### States
+
+The Data Plane Signaling protocol is represented by the following states:
+
+- **STARTED:** Transits to started, in case of a PUSH transfer, if a START message was received and the transfer could be initiated. In case of PULL, if the EDR token was issued and provided to CP successfully.
+- **RECEIVED:** Transits to received, in case of PUSH and a START message was received. Yet the transfer did not start so far, or failed to start and it will be retried.
+- **COMPLETED:** In case of PUSH transfer, if the transfer completed successfully. Proceeds to try to notify the CP about outcome.
+- **NOTIFIED:** Transits to notified, if the DP successfully sent an update about whether it completed or failed the transfer.
+- **FAILED:** Transits into failed state if: 1. In case of PUSH transfer, doing the transfer (even exhausted retries) failed or it could not be initiated. or 2. if notifying the CP about a 
+- **SUSPENDED:** In case the CP sent a Suspend Message.
+- **TERMINATED:** In case the CP sent a Terminate Message.
