Write all steps of checksum method.
- The sender subdivides data units into equal segments of ‘n’ bits(16 bits)
- These segments are added together using one’s complement
- The total (sum) is then complemented and appended to the end of the original data unit as redundancy bits called CHECKSUM
- The extended data unit is transmitted across the network
- The receiver subdivides data unit as above and adds all segments together and complement the result
- If the intended data unit is intact, total value found by adding the data segments and the checksum field should be zero
- If the result is not zero, the packet contains an error & the receiver rejects it
