31. The maximum block length will be one week. 32. After 5 blocks, the maximum block length shall increase to one year ( full enforcement ). 33. Administrators have discretion in choosing block length . 34. Consequently, AES candidates were required to support a block length of 128 bits ( 16 bytes ). 35. As a general rule, this bound can only be attained by increasing the coding block length parameter. 36. The block length will increase in 512-byte increments as long as there are no errors requiring retransmission. 37. Hence, we require the list size to be a polynomial in the block length n of the code. 38. We should be discussing block length . 39. There is no requirement to use progressive block lengths , so his argument is wrong from the first word. 40. This is simply a notice to allow scrutiny of a reduction in block length of User : Jacurek.
