A system for sanitizing a data frame from a first node in a network loop, comprising:
- means for receiving the data frame comprising invalid data from the first node;
- means for replacing a first word of the invalid data with a frame termination primitive and subsequent words of the invalid data with buffer data;
- and
- means for transmitting buffer data to a second node downstream from the first node in the network loop after transmitting the frame termination primitive until a data frame including the invalid data from the node ends.
