So, if we limit packets to a constant small size, say 53 bytes, we'd have
faster connections, right?

I think we should make a proposal for a new internet standard--this would
help speed up network connections for everyone!

Now we just need a catchy name for the new standard packet size...something
like "Accelerated Transfer Methodology" that the trade publications can
splash across the headlines in 18 point type.

I've heard ATM defined as something else..

ATM didn't die, it just moved internal to the routing chipsets :-)
