One needs to be very careful about packet size reasoning.
For TCP, something like 1/3 of all packets are tiny (acks). A lot less than 1/3 of the bytes are in tiny packets :-)
For voice traffic, almost all packets are small.

Hi Ron,

Very Interesting idea that you presented during SPRING session today. Seems 
useful.

Two comments/clarification -

1. One of the slides indicated that small packet size on the Internet was ~500B 
and calculated ~10% due to Routing EH overhead accordingly. Of course, if we 
look at mid packet size (800-1000B) or large packet size (1000~1400B), then the 
overhead would be a lot less.

We should also look at the % mix of small packets vs mid vs large size to calculate 
the impact. If mid to large packets were dominant (say, as much as >70% given 
>80% of traffic is video (ABR etc) per the latest VNI studies ), then the overhead 
impact due to non-compressed SID usage on the traffic would be even less over all.

2. Also, what % of savings do we get by using compressed RH vs non-compressed 
RH ? 24B vs 64B per packet !!


Cheers,
Rajiv
