Claim 0:
1. A method of mitigating payload related link failure, the method comprising:
monitoring one or more link error conditions on a link, wherein the one or more link error conditions are associated with at least a respective application specific data transmission of a plurality of application specific data transmissions originating from one or more source applications traversing the link, and wherein the one or more link error conditions at least include a bit error rate observed on the link and the bit error rate is tracked using a counter;
identifying a link failure attributable to one or more of the plurality of application specific data transmissions, the link failure corresponding to one or more positions of the one or more link error conditions with respect to a predetermined threshold;
identifying at least one respective source application of the one or more source applications associated with the link failure based on the one or more link error conditions and in response to identifying the link failure;
identifying one or more corresponding amounts of contribution to the link failure by the at least one respective source application; and
providing one or more corrective actions directed at the at least one respective source application associated with the one or more of the plurality of application specific data transmissions based on an extent of the one or more corresponding amounts of contribution to the link failure by the at least one respective source application, wherein the one or more corrective actions are selected based on the one or more link error conditions.
