The usual argument: the probability of a collision only needs to be as low as the probability of a single-bit error anywhere on the path. That's the best you could possibly do.
- giornogiovanna 8y agoHow do you usually estimate the probability of a single-bit error?
- erik_seaberg 8y agoMost errors are detected by checksums or hashes, so measure that across all your hardware (client requests, network hops, server RAM) and estimate how often your checksum should have collided and let an error slip by. Granted, it's pretty rare to work on a big enough system to have solid data on this.
