64B/66B
An algorithm for encoding data for transmission in which each 64-bit data word is converted to a 66-bit transmission character.
Each transmission character is prefixed with either binary "01" or binary "10". This, combined with scrambling, gives the signal desirable engineering properties, yet incurs a much lower overhead than the traditional 8b/10b encoding.
