Claim:
1. A system for providing coding identification, the system comprising: a first transceiver comprising a first alignment module, a first FEC module, and a pattern generator, the first transceiver being configured to generate at least a first data stream and a plurality of alignment markers, the plurality of alignment markers including a first alignment marker and a second alignment marker, the first alignment marker comprising a first region storing a device message and second region storing an FEC mode message and a third region; a second transceiver comprising a second alignment module and a second FEC module, the second transceiver being configured to process the plurality of alignment markers and the first data stream; wherein: the first FEC module encodes the first data stream using a first FEC mode; the FEC mode message indicates the first FEC mode; the second transceiver determines the first FEC mode from the second region of the first alignment marker; the second transceiver processes the first data stream using the first FEC mode; the first transceiver embeds a second device message in a third alignment marker if an acknowledgment message is not received from the second transceiver within a predetermined period of time.
