Abstract:
1. A method for reducing facsimile page errors due to packet loss in facsimile transmission over a packet network, comprising: receiving facsimile image data packets from a packet network; reassembling said received packets; parsing said assembled packets into scan line data of said facsimile image; evaluating said scan line data to detect the expected end of a scan line without packet loss; playing out said scan line data to a local Facsimile Terminal Equipment (FTE), if said scan line data has no packet loss; discarding said scan line data if said scan line data has packet loss; and shifting a first scan line without packet loss and including a detected end of said first scan line, that is received in said FTE after said discarding, to join a second scan line without packet loss and including a detected end of said second scan line, that is received in said FTE before said discarding, to form a facsimile image.
