The traffic is a combination of tunneled VNC (to Win2K), tunneled Remote Desktop (to WinXP), and interactive command line (to Linux) sessions. For the first two types (VNC & RD), the image data is compressed before entering the encrypted tunnel. For the last traffic type there are a lot of small packets, owning to the nature of keyboard activity. Thanks.
