Error correction codeIn computing, telecommunication, information theory, and coding theory, forward error correction (FEC) or channel coding is a technique used for controlling errors in data transmission over unreliable or noisy communication channels. The central idea is that the sender encodes the message in a redundant way, most often by using an error correction code or error correcting code (ECC). The redundancy allows the receiver not only to detect errors that may occur anywhere in the message, but often to correct a limited number of errors.
Port (logiciel)Dans la suite des protocoles Internet et correspondant à la couche de transport du modèle OSI, la notion de port logiciel permet, sur un ordinateur donné, de distinguer différents interlocuteurs. Ces interlocuteurs sont des programmes informatiques qui, selon les cas, écoutent ou émettent des informations sur ces ports. Un port est distingué par son numéro. Le terme port est aussi parfois utilisé pour désigner les sockets (interfaces de connexion), un concept sensiblement différent.
Measuring network throughputThroughput of a network can be measured using various tools available on different platforms. This page explains the theory behind what these tools set out to measure and the issues regarding these measurements. Reasons for measuring throughput in networks. People are often concerned about measuring the maximum data throughput in bits per second of a communications link or network access. A typical method of performing a measurement is to transfer a 'large' file from one system to another system and measure the time required to complete the transfer or copy of the file.
