Agreed but it suggests the PC being monitored was more or less being used as a type writer. It would have been much better if they used a trace from a modern PC/ OS with a wider range of applications. Using an SSD for the trace would also have been more helpful.

At the end of the day however it is still going to be mostly small xfers, but maybe some larger xfers would have shown up.
