  • Multi-mode forward error correction
    Patent number: 8296630
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a system for multi-mode forward error correction comprises a substrate, forward error correction (FEC) modules, and a controller. The FEC modules are disposed outwardly from the substrate. A first FEC module performs forward error correction according to a first FEC scheme, and a second FEC module performs forward error correction according to a second FEC scheme. The controller configures the first FEC module and the second FEC module to convert from an input FEC scheme to an output FEC scheme for a stream.
