- morelisp 3y agoAny RAM-caused bit flip that happens e.g. before the TCP checksum is as likely to happen after the TCP checksum, it's using about the same memory either way.
- geraldhh 3y agoleaving aside that a checksum doesn't catch every bit-change, that's still a 50% chance that it _will_ be detected.
- morelisp 3y agoI'm arguing against > most bit-errors... are handled in userspace error-detection If there really are a significant number of bad-RAM errors getting caught at the TCP layer, then there are also a significant number happening after that. There aren't, so there aren't.
