Abstract
An originated packet is to be forward-propagated along a path to a destination device, with the path including one or more intermediary node devices. A path quality indication representing a reported error having been detected by at least one of the intermediary node devices residing along the path, is incorporated in the forward-propagating packet. The destination device incorporates the path quality indication in an acknowledgement packet directed to the originator of the packet.
