But isn't congestion caused by bytes and not number of packets? So, by that argument, larger packets will fill the queue faster than smaller and thus have a higher propensity to drop? And when it does, it is a bigger chunk of audio so it could actually reduce quality rather than improve it.

Not necessarily. There's *lots* of gear out there that will move 100mb/s all day long with no problems, but if you smack it with too many 50-byte packets per second, it will have a nervous breakdown. Probably less so than formerly, but I suspect there's still a lot that isn't perfect. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
