FiberMau-FDX ($299), a full-duplex Ethernet transceiver from MiLAN Technology (Sunnyvale, CA), uses the company's LinkSentry remote-sensing technology to search for errors on a network before releasing packets to their destinations. LinkSentry handles this task without disturbing network traffic. If any cabling or equipment problems arise, the fault-tolerant transceiver or hub is notified to disable the transmitting port. Networks running SNMP can detect the disabled port.

is
theoretical--and no language better exemplifies this than C++.
