Abstract
Computing devices and techniques for providing link partner health reporting are described. In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus may include at least one memory, and logic, at least a portion of the logic comprised in hardware coupled to the at least one memory, the logic to determine a plurality of error counters, each of the plurality of error counters associated with a number of errors, determine the number of errors for each data unit of a plurality of data units associated with a data block, increment each of the plurality of error counters corresponding with the number of errors for each data unit of the plurality of data units, provide a plurality of error counts for the data block to a link partner, the plurality of error counts corresponding to the number of errors accumulated in each of the plurality of error counters for the data block, and reset the plurality of error counters. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
