Silent data loss example: 1. Use e1000 driver 2. Use mail client and don't copy sent to ssl imap 3. Send large file 4. Go to recipient maildir 5. Look at file After ~ 700 lines characters outside of the base64 spec appear in the stream (spaces, unprintable characters, garbage). It looks similar to line noise on a 1200 bps modem. Obviously the file is corrupt. It is interesting that these issues are not caught by tcp checksums. |
