Subject: Avg. Packet Size - Again?
Most of the data and studies I have found on this topic are a bit out =20
of date.
I would be interested in find out what the average packet size people =20
are seeing on their backbones is at this point and time? Also for =20
those in the DC space what is average packet size you are seeing for =20
web farm traffic (outbound)? Yes I know there are 1000's of answers =20
and different possibilities in setups so please no, "this is a dumb =20
question". I am well aware of all the variables involved in this. I am =20
just looking for some data points that come from a wide degree of =20
sources.
Is this data even something that you track and if so why?
Thanks!
Sean
