ABSTRACT:
A packet is originated in a unit 10 as a data field DATA 11 plus a CRC (cyclic redundancy check) check field CRC 12 by a CRC circuit 13. This packet has a header HDR (with a routing information field RIF) added to it in a unit 20, converting it into a message for transmission through a message network. A check correction field CCF is computed by unit 23 in unit 20, by looking up precomputed check subfields stored with the routing subfields (the routing information field being constructed by selecting from the stored subfields), such that the CRC field is a valid CRC check field for the complete message. At the destination, unit 30 can be the final user unit, checking the entire message and extracting the data field DATA therefrom; the DATA field does not need to be checked, as the CRC field acts as a check both for the data field DATA alone and the entire message. (Alternatively, the message can be checked by a final switching unit 30 using a standard CRC check circuit 32 (and similarly at intermediate units 30', 30") and the original packet can be checked by another standard CRC check circuit 42 in the final user unit 40.)
