Automated method for generating the cyclic redundancy check, or CRC, particularly for the transmission of multi-protocol packets in packet-switching networks

摘要

The invention concerns an automated method to generate the Cyclic Redundancy Check, or CRC, of data packets, minimizing computing time, particularly for the transmission of recursively embedded packets in packet-switching networks, particularly able to carry out the calculation even in case the packet length (as number of bits) is not a multiple integer of processed word width. The invention also concerns the CRC and checksum checking and computing machines carrying out the described calculation.
