Modem error correction protocols detect and correct data transmission errors using hardware and software-based methods. Checksums are calculated before each data packet is sent, and receiving modems compare them to detect errors. The Microcom Networking Protocol (MNP) and V.42 are widely used hardware-based protocols, while XMODEM and its successors, including ZMODEM, are software-based. Using both […]
