        40 byte packets @ 40Gig  is a wonder to contemplate.
        the whole ATM argument (53byte "cells" over 100Meg)
        being an egregious overhead expense for segmentation/
        reassembly is amplified here.
There are more cell-based fixed access links running IP than all other technologies combined.
(fixed == not counting dialup)
So cells must be good for you. At least they sell well :)
