Nah, I imagine the underlying technology will burp just as often no matter
where it is operated.
If basic strategy is to layer ECC and Retry on a link, is that enough of a
hint?
To me that is simply an indication that they intend this thing to work
even if a given link turn out to be less than perfect.
Even if error rates are in the 'probably none during the lifetime of the
equipment', I'd still like to include the capability to detect, correct,
and if needed retransmit, any actual failing packet.
The only real problem is that for very low error rates you have to have
some way to intentionally introduce them during testing, otherwise you
won't know that the correction/retransmit parts actually work.
