Kudos on having the integrity to point this out even when it superficially weakens your argument.
Also, a more relevant percentage would be: If you have 64KB packets (which you want, to get the best throughput) 12 bytes is a 0.018% overhead, less than one five-thousandth of your packet.
Edit: and apparently it's 0.8% with the default MSS of 1460B. Ugh.
- jsnell 7y ago0.8% is still an underestimate. The average size of a TCP packet in real networks is about 500 bytes, due to the ACKs. And timestamps need to be present in the ACKs too.
