RE: [RPRWG] CRC check in each node?
As Devandra points out, Ethernet MACs can "receive" packets with bad CRC.
They will flag the packet as "bad" packets. The CRC circuit is triggered at
the end of the packet reception.

Promiscous mode refers to addressing and not CRC error. Actually CRC errors,
as per Ethernet, should be dropped but all MACs make provision for passing
CRC error packets. I think Nader referred to it in the contxet of header
corruption (which may distort the address).
