What is a cyclic redundancy error?
A cyclic redundancy check is carried out to ensure the integrity of data being transferred from one data storage device to the other. In mathematical jargon, cyclic redundancy error is also known as ‘polynomial check sum method’. Digital data verification during transfer, is the primary objective of implementing the cyclic redundancy check algorithm. As you start making a data transfer from one destination to the other, a cyclic redundancy code is created and a small bit of information is attached to the data being transferred. On reception of each piece of data, the code is again calculated according to the sequence of attached bits connected with the data. If this code is exactly similar to the one that is generated at the source destination, then the data has suffered no damage enroute to the destination. On the other hand, if this code is not the same as the one generated before, it leads to what is know as a cyclic redundancy error. There are many reasons why a cyclic redundancy e
