based on Sally's work with the small-packets variant of DCCP TFCR  
(and maybe other work?), it should probably matter whether the  
bottleneck router manages its queue based on packets or bytes. (The  
effects for DCCP TFRC are different, but the queue management  
mechanism is likely to have an impact.)
