Abstract

In one embodiment, a node comprises an interface to communicatively couple the node to a channel. The channel communicatively couples the node to a first neighbor node and first neighbor's neighbor node in a first direction. When the first neighbor node is scheduled to transmit and the node receives data from the first neighbor node via the channel, the node forwards the data to the first neighbor's neighbor, receives other data from the first neighbor's neighbor, compares the data to the other data, and relays the data along the channel with information indicative of the comparison.
