Abstract
Loss and/or misrouting of cells in cell based systems result in unreliable data transmission and thus, in a degradation of system quality. Two main causes for loss and/or misrouting are the occurence of
-
statistically distributed errors in transmission media and
-
overflow of intermediate memories in switching networks.
Since the entire routing information is contained within the cell header, it is obvious that transmission errors which frequently occur may change this routing information, hence, leading to either loss or misrouting of the cell. In this paper the statistics of cell loss and misrouting due to transmission errors are developed. It is shown that loss and misrouting can be influenced by appropriate coding of the cell header. The results are discussed and examples are given proving that coding considerably enhances transmission reliability and data security.
