Impact of Overheads and Message Size

Effective bandwidth for overheads of 25 tex2html_wrap_inline437 s and 500 tex2html_wrap_inline437 s\ and channel bandwidths of 10 MB/s, 100 MB/s and 1000 MB/s.

Packet size from 16 bytes to 1 MB.

Must lower overheads as well as increase network bandwidth unless messages are very large.
