Abstract
A method is provided to detect and handle failures in the communication in a network, including a sender (201, 203) and a receiver (202, 501, 502, 503), where communication between the sender and the receiver is message-oriented. The method includes: (a) the sender sending a message (M101, M101-C, M102-C) to the receiver; (b) the sender monitoring the transmission process of the message inside the sender and/or monitoring the message; (c) the sender executing a correctness check of (i) the message, e.g., its contents, and/or (ii) the transmission process of the message inside the sender; and (d) after the correctness check(s) has/have been completed, the sender informs the receiver of the result of the correctness check(s), wherein (e) the receiver of the message marks the message as being faulty and/or discards the message if the result of a correctness check indicates that the message and/or transmission process is faulty.
