Reed-Solomon Codes
nData sent as encoded block
nEncodes message as pts in a polynomial
nCoefficients of polynomial are the data
nPlot over determines the coefficients
nMissing coefs may be recovered from subsets of plotted pts.
n(consider correcting a curve by interpolating over a
gap)
nBest when errors come in bursts
nMultiple bit errors in the same value count as a single
error
