https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal-cost%20multi-path%20routing | Equal-cost multi-path routing (ECMP) is a routing strategy where packet forwarding to a single destination can occur over multiple best paths with equal routing priority. Multi-path routing can be used in conjunction with most routing protocols because it is a per-hop local decision made independently at each router. I... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mastigoneme | Mastigonemes are lateral "hairs" that attach to protistan flagella. Flimsy hairs attach to the flagella of euglenid flagellates, while stiff hairs occur in stramenopile and cryptophyte protists. Stramenopile hairs are approximately 15 nm in diameter, and usually consist of flexible basal part that inserts into the cel... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multidimensional%20parity-check%20code | A multidimensional parity-check code (MDPC) is a simple type of error correcting code that operates by arranging the message into a multidimensional grid, and calculating a parity digit for each row and column. In general, an n-dimensional parity scheme can correct n/2 errors.
Example
The two-dimensional parity-che... |
