The scrambler's actually a separate block, usually immediately before or shortly after the encoder. It's common in wireless modems, which I'm more familiar with, but it seems like it's rare in wireline PHYs. Ethernet app

The code itself is deterministic but usually bits are are interleaved and scrambled with a long time varying pseudorandom sequence. If you pass a short repetive sequence in, it will look random coming out.

You’re giving the range for a 50% to 100% chance of non-transmission. But in the spirit of the original question, I’d suppose we want to find n such that the probability of non-transmission is 2^- n , and the expected number of such trans

Yes, but the sequence of bits that has been transmitted over the Internet is finite. That makes panic’s argument technically true. Since we’re dealing with a sequence that’s zettabytes long, I’d guess it falls under the category of technica

If you’re looking at TCP headers, you might as well go all the way to the PHY layer. Your TCP headers will get encoded by an error correcting code (good, they’ll look random again) but then the data will be split into frames, and each frame

Just curious, what parts of your code are not portable to Python 3? The biggest barrier usually seems to involve strings/Unicode. Or are you relying on packages that don’t have Python 3 support? In any case, it sounds like you have a s

I used to be a sober guy with a typical penis and U.S. dollars in the bank. I would often lay awake at night, wondering, “How can I solve this?” You see, I was stuck in a rut. I wanted drugs, massive boners, and the thrill of a wildly unsta

If, in a purely merit-based admissions process, they would represent e.g. 30% of the Harvard class, then it suggests discrimination. But the idea that Harvard admissions is purely merit based is a joke, so this is very hard to pin down.
