Abstract

This invention relates to an abnormal packet processing system, and is directed to minimize processing of an abnormal packet during communication between a plurality of processing units by a receiving processor. This data processing system includes a plurality of processing units connected through an interconnection. At least one of the processing units is a transmitting processor which includes a unit for detecting an abnormality of a data packet during transmission of the data packet to a receiving processor; and a unit for adding abnormality report data to the data packet being transmitted and sending the data packet with the abnormality report data to the receiving processor, or, in the alternate, inhibiting transmission of the abnormal packet.
