I agree, and let me be the first to complain. ;)

As I said in my previous e-mail on this, I think we should minimize the
number of packets, so we should pad to a value that fits into something
based on the 1500 byte value.

The easiest approach is to use 500 bytes (not 468) as the block size.
Alternately we could use 486 bytes to account for tunneled traffic.
It's not a big concern, but I also don't see any reason not to do this.

Cheers,
