I did the math a while back for the percent chance of this kind of
corruption happening on a per packet basis with a specific percent of
corrupt packets.

Unfortunately most operating systems don't report the fact that packets
are coming in corrupt in a way that end users would see it.  It's only
visible to people that pay attention to their network interface packet
counters.

I guess I should look around for a comparison of different network file
systems that do application level packet checksums.

Another good reason why I use rsync+ssh tunnels for important file
copies.
