These numbers may vary quite a bit depending on the nature of your "real
internet traffic".  

IP packet size distribution (34510M total packets):
   1-32   64   96  128  160  192  224  256  288  320  352  384  416  448  480
   .003 .316 .033 .024 .021 .018 .011 .010 .013 .013 .009 .010 .006 .006  .007

    512  544  576 1024 1536 2048 2560 3072 3584 4096 4608
   .005 .005 .413 .017 .049 .000 .000 .000 .000 .000 .000
