Abstract

In some embodiments, a system for communication between agents in a point-to-point interconnection system includes at least one initiator agent capable of dispatching at least one message destined for at least one determined receiver agent; at least one intermediate agent capable of forwarding at least one message to at least one determined receiver agent; at least one receiver agent capable of receiving at least one message originating from an initiator agent via at least one intermediate agent; and means of error detection and means of erroneous message marking. In some embodiments, a receiver agent includes means for formulating an error message and means for sending the error message to the initiator agent so as to warn the said initiator agent of the presence of an error.
