Comment Comment by sdeziel Nice article! However some numbers are a bit off:The IPv4 overhead is normally 20 bytes but can reach 60 bytes with many options. For TCP, it's between 20 and 60 bytes as well.Just ran a quick tcpdump on Linux and curl's TCP connection uses 32 bytes TCP headers (12 bytes of options). parent sdeziel 4 years ago
