thought just occurred while studying for genetics (something I am all to glad to take a break from), what if computers used 2 forms of data transfer rather than 1?
I was kicking the idea about in my head of using the fiber-optic line to send packets of data, and the digital line (which is somewhat slower) to act as a checksum for it. Anyone know if anything like this has been done, or is being worked on? does it sound feasible? would the system bottleneck at comparing the data? and if it did would the gained bits in each packet be worth the bottleneck?
Thanks for the studybreak!
