In telecommunication, a longitudinal redundancy check (LRC) or horizontal redundancy check is a form of redundancy check that is applied independently to each of a parallel group of bit streams. The data must be divided into transmission blocks, to which the additional check data is added.
The term usually applies to a single parity bit per bit stream, calculated independently of all the other bit streams (BIP-8). although it could also be used to refer to a larger Hamming code.
This "extra" LRC word at the end of a block of data is very similar to checksum and CRC.

Famous quotes containing the word check:
“The formation of an oppositional world view is necessary for feminist struggle. This means that the world we have most intimately known, the world in which we feel “safe” ... must be radically changed. Perhaps it is the knowledge that everyone must change, not just those we label enemies or oppressors, that has so far served to check our revolutionary impulses.”
—Bell (c. 1955)
