Well, lesee. The term overhead is 4 + 2 == 6 byte per packet.
SL/IP (from memory) has an overhead of 40 bytes per packet. CSL/IP
does a bit better. How much better I don't know.
Basically, the figures I have seen quoted, say that SL/IP will use
about 50% of the bandwidth. Term uses (typically) 90-98%.
