METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COLLECTING BIT ERROR INFORMATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18332438 Titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COLLECTING BIT ERROR INFORMATION'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for collecting information about errors in data transmission. The method involves adding a special type of information to a packet that is sent over the internet. This information tells certain nodes along the transmission path to record any errors they encounter and add that information to the packet. This allows for the collection of error information from these intermediate nodes.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method for collecting bit error information is provided. According to the method, a head node may encapsulate indication information into an IPv6 extension header of an IPv6 measurement request packet. The indication information indicates at least one intermediate node on a transmission path of the IPv6 measurement request packet to record bit error information into the IPv6 extension header. According to the application, the bit error information of the intermediate node on the transmission path can be collected.
