6.8.3.2 Error handling
The algorithm has been carefully designed to minimize the risk of errors and the chance of
modems dropping out of the network (which would necessitate a visit to the site). For example,
the process automatically stops and removes any changes made if any modem suddenly stops
responding.
However there is always a risk of something going wrong. Usually the rewards outweigh the
risks, because instead of visiting all the sites, you are only forced to visit some of the sites IF
something goes wrong, which is unlikely.
