ECC limits? (was RE: An alternative to TCP ...)

Are there any limits to what error correcting codes can provide?

If you have 15 Gbps with a natural error rate of 1 in 100, 
I think you can still get better than 1 in 1e14 bit errors 
at 10 Gbps with traditional techniques such as Reed-Solomon.

Please correct me if I am wrong.
