Ik al request in the network consists of 20 bytes(160 bits) + keytype
how many different keys can exists in the network before conflicts (can)
happen between 2 hashes. this should be easy to calculate, but my math
is a lot rusty.

I know it is nearly impossible to forge a bad hash on some data (sha1 is
~80 bits safe), but a coincidental collision between 2 hashes can occur.
What is the formula to calculate that ?

Maarten
