+<PRE>Le jeudi 17 f&#233;vrier 2011 &#224; 19:48 +0100, Juergen Harms a &#233;crit :
+&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; Well, in fact, given the way tcp work, I do not see how it could
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; suffer from a transmission problem.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Tcp corrects errors with a certain likelyhood. I do not know what
+</I>&gt;<i> CRC-something is used by ftp - for CRC-16, depending on the type of
+</I>&gt;<i> error and the package length, probablilities are smaller than 10 power
+</I>&gt;<i> -6 (I did these figures many years back, rapid googling does not provide
+</I>&gt;<i> any evident figures). Anyhow, with this order of magnitude, and with the
+</I>&gt;<i> 100 M bytes(!) of a typical largish package, the probability of
+</I>&gt;<i> receiving an apparently good package which after all is not so good is
+</I>&gt;<i> non-negligeable. Doing another check at the application level therefore
+</I>&gt;<i> may be of substantial merit. Would be good to get input from somebody
+</I>&gt;<i> who is more competent.
+</I>
+IP and TCP both have error detections with 16 bits checksum. And the
+chance that a error slip in such a way that it is not detected by
+neither checksums, and at the same time that the error happen at the
+physical level ( ie, cable level ) and do not happen more than once are
+really really rare.
+
+Even if you would cause such a error, you would likely not be able to.
