  • Abstract
    The history of the cutoff rate is reviewed. It is argued that the cutoff rate is a fundamental constant associated with each discrete memoryless channel. It is the largest rate for which maximum-likelihood (or minimum-distance) decoding is tractable for that channel. This statement is the appropriate backdrop against which to see recent progress in coding.
