Re: Network error handling.
Oh, nothing that was actually received, then - you mean that the adapter reported an error?
So the theory is that the NIC stops transmitting on error condition, and restarts transmitting when the error condition has cleared. And the allegedly novel idea is that the NIC should 'wait a bit longer' just to make sure the error condition has really cleared?
You're right, it doesn't sound too earth-shattering.
I think the crux of the matter hinges on how the state 'error condition has cleared' is defined? You may find that the definition includes some time consideration -- e.g., 'such and such a signal has remained clear for at least X microsecs'.
I have no reference for you, though. |
