Checksum Support and Checksum Types

A mathematical value computed from a group of data being transmitted and transferred with the data. The receiving device compares the checksum with its own computation. If it differs from the received checksum, it either requests the transmitting device to resend the data, or generates an error. Each checksum has a specific algorithm having its own level of verification.
