IP packet size distribution (38569M total packets):
  1-32   64   96  128  160  192  224  256  288  320  352  384  416  448  480
  .000 .400 .046 .016 .018 .012 .008 .009 .011 .012 .006 .007 .005 .004 .004

   512  544  576 1024 1536 2048 2560 3072 3584 4096 4608
  .010 .006 .120 .000 .099 .197 .000 .000 .000 .000 .000

Note that if every 1536 packet became 3 paskets and every 2048 packet
became 4 packets that would increase the packet count by 80% !!!
