Abstract

In this paper, we examine how detect and correct transmission errors transmission control protocols such as TCP. We will first show how to construct Hamming Codes to detect and correct single-bit transmission errors. Then, we will evaluate various aspects of the Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) codes in comparison to Hamming Codes. The efficiency and the ease with which we can build and implement CRC codes are some of the aspects of the CRC codes that this paper explores.
