If the checksum did change during transmission, wouldn't that mean a transmission error occurred?

Any compression or encryption in the middle of transmission affects the data at that moment, but that's the wrong time to try to calculate a checksum for comparison purposes.

(Unless it is yet another layer of error checking, used after compression/encryption but before transmission, and again after reception but before decompression/decryption.)

What is the advantage of checksums?

Checksums provide a way to verify the integrity of data by generating a unique value based on the data. By comparing this value before and after data transmission, errors or tampering can be detected. This helps ensure data accuracy and reliability.

What are the two methods of checking the integrity of data?

Two common methods for checking the integrity of data are checksums and hash functions. Checksums involve calculating a small, fixed-size value from a larger set of data, which can be used to verify that the data has not changed. Hash functions generate a unique fixed-size string (hash) for a given input, allowing for quick comparisons to detect any alterations. Both methods help ensure that data remains accurate and uncorrupted during storage or transmission.

During an action potential in a neuron, there is a rapid change in electrical charge across the cell membrane. This change allows for the transmission of signals along the neuron.


Repeatability of packets in a network?

Packets are never repeated in a network because information in their headers will always change (sequence id, checksums, etc.). The data may be repeated, but that is only a part of the packet.
