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. |
