Re: Fw: [RPRWG] CRC check in each node?
I've one doubt I'd like to clarify. If it is only for the local station to
record statistics, why would it have to set a bit in the packet to do so? It
already knows there is a CRC error and it can update its statistics locally. As
far as other other downstream nodes are concerned, they too will find the CRC
errors during reception because they'll be checking for CRC errors anyway. What
exactly does the bit setting help in? It doesn't help in node identification in
a series of nodes. Please advise.
