Abstract
Methods, systems and computer program products are provided for providing error correction in a communication network. A frame including a retransmission class of service indication in associated network layer forwarding information is received. It is determined if the received frame has been corrupted. Retransmission of the received frame is requested if it is determined that it the received framed has been corrupted. An uncorrupted version of the received frame is retransmitted responsive to the retransmission request, over a data link.

A method of providing error correction in a communication network, comprising:
- receiving a frame including a retransmission class of service indication in associated network layer forwarding information;
- determining if the received frame has been corrupted;
- requesting retransmission of the received frame if it is determined that it the received framed has been corrupted;
- and
- receiving an uncorrupted version of the received frame, responsive to the retransmission request, over a data link.
A system for providing error correction in a communication network, comprising:
- a receiving modem configured to:
- receive a frame including a retransmission class of service indication in associated network layer forwarding information;
- determine if the received frame has been corrupted;
- request retransmission of the received frame if it is determined that it the received framed has been corrupted;
- and
- receive an uncorrupted version of the received frame, responsive to the retransmission request, over a data link.
A computer program product for providing error correction in a communication network, the computer program product comprising:
- a computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therein, the computer readable program code comprising:
- computer readable program code configured to receive a frame including a retransmission class of service indication in associated network layer forwarding information;
- computer readable program code configured to determine if the received frame has been corrupted;
- computer readable program code configured to request retransmission of the received frame if it is determined that it the received framed has been corrupted;
- and
- computer readable program code configured to receive an uncorrupted version of the received frame, responsive to the retransmission request, over a data link.
