If we just made *all* the packets smaller, we'd have less latency, right? 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 don't know why nobody thought of this before!
