Abstract
A communication control apparatus achieves accurate and efficient detection of errors in transmitted control data. Control data is transmitted from a first node to a second node. If the second node determines that the data is free from errors, the second node returns the data to the first node. The first node compares the returned data to the originally transmitted data. If the data matches the originally transmitted data, the first node sends an acknowledge signal to the second node. If the returned data does not match, the first node transmits an error signal to the second node. In this manner, the first node detects data errors even when error checking at the second node fails.
