BBS S&F of binary data files. The Packet Radio protocol (AX.25) utilizes
|
|
|
|
|
8 bits for data transfer whereas most standard terminal programs only
|
|
|
|
|
use a 7 bits alogarithm. The result is that only 87.5% of the available
|
|
|
|
|
bandwidth is utilized.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
7plus fully exploits the capacity of the network by using all 8 bits
|
|
|
|
|
and hence increasing data throughput. Furthermore, it uses alogarithms
|
|
|
|
|
which checks for data integrity, detecting, reporting and, whenever
|
|
|
|
|
possible, correcting data transmission errors that may have occurred due
|
|
|
|
|
to noise or loss of signal with minimal overheads.
