Transient and Permanent Link Errors Co-Management

Abstract

Transient and permanent errors can be co-managed at the network layer. Ali et al. use end-to-end error detection and retransmission to deal with transient errors; they utilize deterministic rerouting to avoid broken links [1]. Sanusi et al. apply single-error correction and multiple-error detection to packets at the destination, and request flooding if permanent errors are detected [2]. Handling all errors in the network layer increases the burden of that layer.
