Whether 1 in 16 million is "practical" is pretty debatable. http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=347561&dl=GUIDE&coll=GUIDE > I am trying to find out more about the checksums that TLS uses?

TLS doesn't use "checksums", it uses cryptographic message digests, which is what you would use in your app layer protocol/data format if you wanted equivalent levels of protection.
