Abstract
A method of error protection. In one embodiment, the method of error protection consists of detecting an error during communication between nodes in a network. The nodes are separated by a link in the network. Further communication between the nodes is blocked in response to the detected error. The blocked communication is then unblocked, provided the communicating nodes have resolved the detected error. The unblocking of communication re-enables communication between the nodes.
