ABSTRACT:
A method for transmitting faults across networks operating with different protocols is disclosed. The method includes identifying a fault at a local node, mapping a fault indication bit into a carrier packet, and transmitting the fault indication over a network. The method further includes receiving an indication that the fault was received at a remote node.
