So if you have a 10 Mbps connection you don't get to send 14000 64-byte packets per second, but a maximum of 2500 packets per second. So with 64-byte packets you only get to use 1.25 Mbps.
You have just cut out the VoIP industry, TCP setup, IM or most types of real-time services on the Internet.
Of course not. Like I said, as an average end-user with 10 Mbps you get to send a maximum of 2500 packets per second. That's plenty to do VoIP, set up TCP sessions or do IM. You just don't get to send the full 10 Mbps at this size. _______________________________________________ NANOG mailing list NANOG () nanog org http://mailman.nanog.org/mailman/listinfo/nanog
