RAID(Redundant Array of Independent Disks) is a technology that allowed users to achieve high levels of storage reliability from LowCost and less reliable PC-class DiskDrive components, via the technique of arranging the devices into arrays for redundancy.
IPsec (IP security) is a standard for providing security to IP protocols via encryption and/or authentication, typically employing both. Its use in pfSense is for Virtual Private Networks (VPN's).
Function Pointers are pointers which point to the address of a function.
A running program gets a certain space in the main-memory.
Both, the executable compiled program code and the used variables, are put inside this memory.
The CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Checksum) algorithm is a highly optimised and powerful way of checking whether a large number of bytes have been modified or not.
Manchester code ensures frequent line voltage transitions, directly proportional to the clock rate. This helps clock recovery.
It is, therefore, self-clocking, which means that a clock signal can be recovered from the encoded data.
The following takes a look at transporting Manchester encoded data using RS232, over a radio frequency (RF) link. Manchester encoding is a synchronous clock encoding technique used to encode the clock and data of a synchronous bit stream.
