Abstract

A novel fault-tolerance technique for protecting against and correcting errors in packet data stream flow, preferably through not exclusively with closed ring sequential address generators and the like, through the use of pairs of independent but linked packet data flow paths enabling discarding of error data occurring in one path and substituting therefor corresponding correct data from the other path to enable continuation of the data stream flow without interruption and without error.
