Packet corruption loss is a serious problem in datacenter networks. A large-scale study by Microsoft reported that the number of packets lost due to corruption is comparable to those lost due to congestion. Previous attempts to mitigate the impact of packet corruption loss seek to avoid the faulty links by routing around them, at the cost of reduced link capacities and disruption to the rest of the network.
