Network error correction in computational architecture refers to the ability of a network to detect and correct errors in the data being transmitted. This is typically accomplished using error detection codes, such as checksums or cyclic redundancy checks (CRC), which are attached to the data packets as they are transmitted. If an error is detected, the correction codes are used to identify and correct the error before the data is delivered to the intended recipient. This helps to ensure the reliability and accuracy of data transmission in complex computer networks, where errors are common due to factors such as noise, interference, and congestion.
