  3. 8b/10b encoding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8b/10b_encoding

    Because 8b/10b encoding uses 10-bit symbols to encode 8-bit words, some of the possible 1024 (10 bit, 2 10) symbols can be excluded to grant a run-length limit of 5 consecutive equal bits and to ensure the difference between the count of zeros and ones to be no more than two. Some of the 256 possible 8-bit words can be encoded in two different ...

  9. 64b/66b encoding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64b/66b_encoding

    At 10 Gigabits per second, the expected event rate of a 66-bit block with a 65-bit run-length, assuming random data, is 66×2 64 ÷10 10 ÷2 seconds, or about once every 1900 years. The run length statistics may get worse if the data consists of specifically chosen patterns, instead of being random.
