Compare by hash

Really interesting paper comparing hash functions efficiency with compression and diffs. Definitely worth reading even for sys admins (you can find there some interesting remarks abour RSYNC).

btw: I have a little bit different version of the document with some minor differences when Val Henson was working for Sun.
And it looks like you can find more interestig papers on her page.
