If connected to internet, might be up to 1500 (this looks like mtu)
If looking to an SimpleManagementNetworkProtocol (snmp) you can find packets
different size !
Rq : il transfering 1 Mo = 1024*1024 bytes the in and out octets from the modem
will be bigger !
1/ when a packet is lost, it is reemmitted
2/ when crc fials, smae
3/ crc is added to the packet
for example if mtu=1500 , crc lenth=40 usfull size=1460
Hope this helps
