Claim:
1. A network comprising at least two wired communication links, comprising: a first transceiver configured to: transmit packets comprising payloads with a first error resistance level to a second transceiver over a first wired communication link, store the payloads in a first buffer, receive a first retransmission request for a first payload that is included in the payloads, and retransmit the first payload using a first retransmission packet encoded with a second error resistance level that is higher than the first error resistance level, resulting in no additional retransmissions being required to transmit the first payload successfully; the second transceiver is configured to: receive the packets from the first transceiver, transmit non-retransmitted packets after a fixed delay with the first error resistance level to a third transceiver over a second wired communication link, store the payloads in a second buffer, receive a second retransmission request for a second payload that is included in the payloads, and retransmit the second payload using a second retransmission packet encoded with the second error resistance level that is higher than the first error resistance level, resulting in no additional retransmissions being required to transmit the second payload successfully.
