Abstract
In one embodiment, a system includes a processor and logic integrated with and/or executable by the processor, the logic being configured to cause the processor to determine that a link configured to transmit data between two end points in a networking system has become degraded, encode data prior to transmitting the data across the degraded link, and transmit the encoded data across the degraded link provided that data transmitted across a normal link is not encoded. In another embodiment, a method for selectively overcoming a degraded link in a networking system includes determining that a link configured to transmit data between two end points has become degraded, encoding data prior to transmitting the data across the degraded link, and transmitting the encoded data across the degraded link.
