I will investigate LDPC further though. Turbo codes are like flow cipher compared to RS codes being block ciphers. Transport media is reliable in data storages, otherwise they would not even exist. -- Evgeniy Polyakov - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
