Nyquist's theorem: on a noiseless channel, if an arbitrary signal has been
run through a low-pass filter, and if

T = 1 / f, where T = wavelength and f = frequency.
The attenuation (loss) through fiber is different for different frequencies.
Inertia
Geo stationary satellites have a 270ms delay (1/2 second round trip).
ADSL = 256 4kHz channels. One channel is used for voice, one for separation,
the rest for data. 4kHz filters are placed before the switch and the telephones.

Sampling: on a 4kHz channel, 8 bits per sample, 8k times,
equal 64,000 bits of data. A T1 is 1.544 m. That is just about
24 voice channels on a T1. The rest of the bits are signaling.
Data modulation: to put more data in the signal. If, instead of
transmitting 8 bits to describe the sample, we transmit only that
it has changed ±1v. That requires two bits so we can xmit 4
times as many channels.
The Linux operating system has 64,000 ports therefore it can be a
64k station telco switch.

Error Detection & Correction Codes
Hamming code and parity bits.
If you have parity bits i such that i =
2i, you can correct single errors.
p = parity bit, d = data bit,
p1 p2 d1 d2
p3 d3 d4
p1 is parity for bits 1, 3, 5 and 7.
p2 is parity for bits 2, 3, 6 and 7.
p3 is parity for bits 4, 5, 6 and 7.
This code will correct all single bit errors.
It takes more parity bits to enable error correction than it
does to enable error detection. If their are few errors, it
uses less bandwidth to request re-transmission than transmitting
error correction bits.
At current speeds, noise or signal interference causes bursts
of errors. Error correction is still less efficient.
Error detection for large blocks of data uses integer division.
If A % B = C, we transmit C. If the receiving end has
A % B != C, retransmission is requested.
