I know this question probably doesn't make a lot of sense since it depends on a number of factors but I was curious to know a very rough estimate (or at least order of magnitude) on how often do TCP packets collide in the "wild" internet. Let's imagine I am just browing the web for one hour and using a cabled connection. How many packets during that hour will collide and have to be resent? Are we talking about 0.001% or 10%? Is there a paper or article expanding on this? And to expand, how many packets will fail to reach the destination on the first try for whatever reason?
Thanks.
