A high-speed networking card monitors a fiber-optic link and records the light intensity state at microsecond intervals, yielding the following sequence of values:
H L H L H L H L H L H L
(Where H = High intensity, L = Low intensity)
Explain why Run-Length Encoding (RLE) is an unsuitable compression technique for this telemetry data.
