Segment size

[Diego Woitasen]

Hi,
 I was testing the Wanproxy compression and have questions about the
segment size. The test was done with traffic captured in one of the
branches of one of my clients. I used chaosreader to reassemble the
flows.
With the default segment size (2048) the saving is 67%. I tried with
segment sizes of 1024 and 512. The saving is 71% and 78% respectively.
I haven't test this on the wire yet, I'll do it tomorrow. In the
meanwhile, my question is: what's the reason of a segment size of
2048? Is it based on the experience?
Regards,
 Diego
