So you'll note that there are very clear spikes at 552 and 576 total packet size. Further, note that the curve falls off _extremely_ rapidly. From that, I argue that case (2) _cannot_ be the case because any type of random distribution would be much smoother.
(2) is a random distribution plus some spikes, plus some modality due to TCP's that can only generate packets of <= N bytes for different popular MSS's. So I think it still works (but will save more detailed analysis till later ....).
2) What OS is using a 512 MSS?
