<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:9.5pt;
font-family:Arial'>Dear All,<br>
I have been trying to find out the definition of small and large<br>
packets. There are protocols such as TFRC-SP which are used for small<br>
packets. I am wondering how do we define small packets? What is the<br>
size limit?<br>
<br>
My thoughts on this is : any packet size less than 576 bytes, could be<br>
considered as small packets. And more than 576 bytes, could be termed<br>
large packets.<br>
<br>
Any thoughts.<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
