Let's see.. Prevalance of encryption (e.g., pop/imap v. pops/imaps)? IPSEC ESP & AH, L2F? HTTP and HTTP-alt v. HTTPS? Prevalence of peer-peer applications? TCP and congestion friendly applications as opposed to UDP or others? ICMP prevalence? % of fragmented traffic (e.g., if you were building something that performed flow reassembly)? RTP and other real-time protocols and the implications on this and others on network engineering, architecture and security (e.g., if you were going to deploy WRED and some associated queuing algorithm to deal with congestion, oversubscription or redundancy on a given link, you'd have a much better idea about what effect it would have). I guess I could go on -- but if you had to ask the question [as such] it's probably a moot point... Thanks for reading! Hrmm.. Let’s see.. Prevalance of encryption (e.g., pop/imap v. pops/imaps)?
