New protocols like Internet Protocol version 6 are omitting error detection in packet data, indicating a reliance on improved transmission technologies such as fiber-optic cables. This trend suggests confidence in modern media for data integrity. Additionally, these protocols depend on higher-layer protocols for error detection and correction.

1. Some new protocols such as Internet Protocol (IP) version 6 are not including any kind of error
detection scheme on the data portion of the packet. What significance does this trend indicate
Solution
To some degree, the protocols are relying on the better transmission qualities of modern media,
such as fibre-optic cable. Also the protocols are relying on higher layer protocols to take care of
error detection and correction
