pub const MAX_PARITY: u8 = 63;Expand description
Maximum error-correction capability of a Reed-Solomon codec.
A codec can correct at most 63 byte errors per codeword, which costs 126 parity bytes: two per correctable error.
Using parity values greater than 63 is impractical in GF(256) Reed-Solomon codes, as it would more than double the data size. If redundancy beyond 2x is required, consider combining RS codes with replication for data storage or retransmission for data transfer.
