Me wonders why people ask for 40 byte packets at linerate if the mtu is
supposedly
larger?

  got me... although I could fabricate a rational.

  40 byte packets @ 40Gig is a wonder to contemplate.
  the whole ATM argument (53byte "cells" over 100Meg)
  being an egregious overhead expense for segmentation/
  reassembly is amplified here.

There are more cell-based fixed access links running IP than all other technologies combined.
(fixed == not counting dialup)
So cells must be good for you. At least they sell well :slight_smile:
