Abstract
A method of determining the reliability of data transmission system links is comprised of transmitting a data stream containing a data integrity sequence and at least one accumulated error count sequence along one of the links, determining the integrity of the data in the stream at the end of the link using the data integrity sequence, adding a count of data errors detected to the accumulated error count sequence, and periodically detecting the count as a measure of the reliability.
