Minimal packet size

MLdonkey features a rate limiter, that schedules sent packets, trying to be fair to all uploaders. Sent packets varies in size and frequency, packets size can be decreased to avoid using too low frequencies.

Since the tcpip_packet_size is fixed and does not depend on tcp overhead, sending smaller packets increases the overhead (proportionally), so I recommend using a high minimal_packet_size value.

I'm personally using my link MSS (Maximum Segment Size). MSS = MTU - (tcp overhead), so usually MTU - 40.
