There no such thing as a digital signal. What is commonly named digital signal is a saturated analog signal. Though this analog signal is relevant for data reconstruction. You did not answer the question: what happens of the noise that reaches the Touch. It might have little incidence on data reconstruction though higher noise will result in higher packet retransmission, but it is going into the Touch anyway, not in the bits of data, but as an analog signal that may increase output noise. pski;686710 Wrote: > No. Parity testing/reconstruction/request for retransmit operations are > done in the NIC (network interface card.)

The NIC has also a processor (let us call it NPU if you like) that can also cause electrical noise into the Touch. pski;686710 Wrote: > So, yes, bit perfect data does means the data that left the one end is > the exact data received at the other. > > p I don't think you can draw this conclusion from your answers.
