Abstract :
This paper investigates the behavior of the IEEE 1394 bus in the presence of transient errors in the hardware layers of the protocol. Software-implemented error injection is used to introduce errors into the internals of the 1394 bus hardware chipset. Results from this study indicate that the IEEE 1394 bus protocol provides robust network communication in the presence of single-bit errors in the chipset.
