I agree with sthen about the markdown link and think this contains a lot of fluff. I would cut this down to something like the below. Collection of CRC32C implementations that dispatches to one suitable to the hardware. CRC32C is the cyclic redundancy check that uses the iSCSI polynomial specified in RFC 3720.
