   Anyone have a feel for the avg packet size over a typical backbone 
   link? A T3 with an avg packet size of 500 bytes is 21000pps full
   duplex...I suspect the ave packet size may be smaller with lots
   of dialup traffic.....

The long-term Internet backbone average packet size is 256 bytes.  Things
_were_ getting better a while ago, but then this damn HTTP stuff picked up
and ....  ;-(
