An example of <strong>over</strong>heads, based on figures shown in the graph above, is given below.<br />

• If you send a 1MB file <strong>over</strong> FTP, the <strong>over</strong>heads for FTP are approximately 10% across all<br />

network types, therefore you would be charged for 1.1MB of data.<br />

• If you send a 1MB file <strong>over</strong> SMTP, the <strong>over</strong>heads for SMTP are approximately 55% across all<br />

network types, therefore your would be charged for 1.55MB of data.<br />

Note that if you send data <strong>over</strong> a VPN (or another secure network) the <strong>over</strong>head is approximately<br />

18% - 40%. This is in addition to the percentage <strong>over</strong>head shown in the above graph for the<br />

protocol used.<br />

It is therefore very important to select the most efficient method of transmitting data, based on the<br />

nature of the traffic you are sending.<br />

Dynamic Packet size<br />

Dynamic packet size determines the volume of data that can be sent per packet in comparison to<br />

the error correction information. Dynamic packet size varies depending on the protocol, but plays a<br />

significant role in data transfer. It enables throughput to vary depending upon the quality of the<br />

service or channel.<br />
