A method, translating apparatus, apparatus comprising a computer readable medium, and system for error recovery in a mixed protocol communication network includes a translation function that communicates with a first device using a first communication protocol and a second device using a second communication protocol. When the translation function determines that a connection failure occurred between the translation function and the second device, the translation function completes a first link reset procedure with the first device to suspend data flow between the first device and the translation function, completes a connection establishment procedure with the second device to establish a connection between the translation function and the second device, and then completes a second link reset procedure with the first device to enable data flow between the first device and the translation function.
