Abstract:
1. A method of communication between agents in an interconnection system comprising at least three elements, the method comprising: sending a message destined for a determined receiver agent by a message initiator agent over a point-to-point interconnection network; detecting an error and, if an error is actually detected, the said message is marked as being erroneous, wherein the error detection is performed by an intermediate agent of the point-to-point interconnection network; and forwarding the message to the said determined receiver agent if the said forwarding is possible and, if the said message is marked as being erroneous, the receiver agent formulates an error message and sends it to the initiator agent so as to warn the said initiator agent of the presence of an error, wherein if the message cannot be forwarded to the said determined receiver agent from the said initiator agent, then the message is marked as being erroneous and forwarded to another receiver agent linked to the said interconnection network.
