Bill,

See http://www.vbns.net/presentations/papers/index.html
for the paper
"Wide-Area Internet Traffic Patterns and Characteristics"
by K. Thompson, G. J. Miller, and R. Wilder, IEEE Network,
November/December 1997. You should find it relevant & interesting.

Anyone know of any studies documenting this?  A know that IP packets
over the Internet tend to be smaller rather than larger, but I wondered
if anyone has published something.
