TCP/IP: generating polynomial for CRC

Does anyone know what the generating polynomial for CRC checking/generating is for TCP/IP? I've been googling for half and hour and I can't find it... maybe it doesn't exist....
 
Ok, I found out.

The first 180 bits of the ethernet packet (header) uses CRC-32, which is an internation standard. The generating polynomial is: 0x104C11DB7.
 
Stop writing computer viruses! :|


LOL, j/k. Glad you found your thing. Never heard of polynomials being used for CRC, but then again, I am not into cyclical redundancy checking 🙂

Never heard of polynomials used for CRC? That's what CRC does! Divide the bit string with the polynomial and tag on the remainder at the end...

I must've been thinking of parity checking
