The sending host computes a checksum on the entire frame and sends this along. The receiving host computes the checksum on the frame using the same algorithm, and compares it to the received FCS. This way it can detect whether any data was lost or altered in transit. It may then discard the data, and request retransmission of the faulty frame. A Cyclic Redundancy Check is often used to compute the FCS. FCS is used in Ethernet , X.25 , HDLC , Frame Relay , and other Data Link layer Protocols . EXTERNAL LINKS
