Abstract
Isolation of faulty links in a transmission medium including a method that includes receiving an atomic data unit via a multi-link transmission medium that has a plurality of transmission links. An error condition is detected and it is determined that the error condition is isolated to a single transmission link. It is determined if the single transmission link has been isolated previously as a failing transmission link a specified number of times within an interval specified by a timer. If the single transmission link has been isolated previously as a failing transmission link a specified number of times within an interval specified by a timer then: identifying the single transmission link as a faulty transmission link; resetting the timer; and outputting an identifier of the single transmission link.
