%0 Journal Article %T Passing Corrupt Data Across Network Layers: An Overview of Recent Developments and Issues %A Welzl Michael %J EURASIP Journal on Advances in Signal Processing %D 2005 %I Springer %X Recent Internet developments seem to make a point for passing corrupt data from the link to the network layer and above instead of ensuring data integrity with a checksum and ARQ. We give an overview of these efforts (the UDP Lite and DCCP protocols) and explain which circumstances would justify delivery of erroneous data; clearly, the missing piece in the puzzle is efficient and meaningful interlayer communication. %U http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/ASP.2005.242
