Those bozos are suggesting to reduce MTU from 1500 to 576
to "improve performance", so packets "won't fragment in
backbones"!  The bright idea to fix CTS/RTS setting didn't
come along in their brilliant minds.

Here goes the average packet size.  Down the drain...

Now what do we do to control the damage?

I also think it's a good time to measure the gullibilty of
the general public by measuring packet size distribution :)
