Error Detection

Error detection ensures data integrity in TCP-based communication, preventing corrupted or altered packets from disrupting server-side game interactions. TCP uses checksums to verify data integrity, detecting bit errors during transmission. If an error is found, the corrupted packet is discarded, and retransmission is requested via acknowledgments (ACKs). Additional mechanisms such as cyclic redundancy check (CRC) and parity checks may be used in lower network layers to enhance reliability. Effective error detection minimizes data corruption in multiplayer games, ensuring smooth gameplay and synchronization across players.
