摘要：A method and apparatus for performing error detection in a network isdisclosed. An error counter is stored in a common memory location accessible by allnodes. The error counter includes separate partitions associated with each node in thenetwork. Each partition includes two error counter values representing, respectively,sending and transmission error counts, for a corresponding node. No global lockingmechanism is required to synchronize access to the commonly accessed error counter.Rather, access to the error counter is provided by having code executing on each nodeadhering to rules regarding the types of access to the various partitions in the errorcounter. Each node may read from any partition, but may only write to its own partition.
