Abstract
A system for detecting transmission errors in a data transmission system includes a receiver for receiving a data packet transmitted thereto by a corresponding transmitter and transmitting the data packet to a destination device and an error detection device for receiving a plurality of protocol signals that control the operation of the transmitter and the receiver. The error detection device applies at least one predetermined rule to the protocol signals, wherein a violation of the at least one rule by the protocol signals indicates that an error in the transmission of the packet has occurred, and asserts an error signal when the at least one rule has been violated by the protocol signals. The system further includes a packet filtering device coupled to receive the error signal from the error detection device and the data packet from the receiver, wherein, upon receiving the asserted error signal, the packet filtering device terminates the transmission of the data packet to the destination device.
