it is not the case that a faster network implies larger packets
- kragen 17y agoIn the limit it does, because a faster network means more interrupts per second when the packet size is fixed. Thus, Ethernet jumbograms. Also, there can be problems with bit-rate-independent framing; for example, 802.11b loses a lot of its 11Mbps to the packet preamble, since the preamble is the same number of microseconds for compatibility with the older 802.11 standards. (I assume G solved this problem.) I suspect you could gzip a working CP/M system into a 9000-byte Ethernet jumbogram.
