This sort of data corruption has happened in at least one major network
that I know of, and there must be zillions of unreported gotcha's.

"Error free Network" is an oxymoron.

One really needs and end to end protocol such as ZMODEM with 32 bit CRC's
to protect your data.  Then you have to pray the memory boards on your
CPUs are properly seated in the backplane ...
