ABSTRACT:
A checksum is generated for a bit string in an information packet to be transmitted across a network, by grouping contiguous bit groups in the bit string and, in sequence, processing each of the bit groups to produce a checksum component for each bit group, with the final checksum for the bit string being produced as an accumulation of the checksum components.
