I would be interested in find out what the average packet size people are seeing on their backbones is at this point and time?

I predict that if you graph it, there's a ton of packets that are right
around the MTU of the network. almost equal number of tiny packets carrying
the ACK's of the mobygrams, and then a small noise level of "everything else".

Our network also shows peaks at the ethernet MTU (our MTU is higher than that)
and the DNS packet size.
