> Isn't the TCP checksumming enough? Interesting question. And the answer is probably not. I can not find the reference right now, but with bulk high speed transfers becoming common, the odds are against the entire transfer not having at least one undetected packet error is not on your side. All the high energy physics bulk data transfers now include additional check summing simply because TCP checksums are not sufficient (corrupted transfers).

Well, it depends on the encryption style, but for most interesting encryptions, you are correct that the packet would fail to decrypt if the packet had errors. _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-devel
