What is a typical file size(s) that one would be using in real world on a CDPD application?
Typical file size is hard to define, because there are so many different applications. However, in general I would say that applications that work most efficiently over CDPD are those that are message oriented (i.e. smaller data files). I would therefore say that files in the range of 1 to 5 Kbytes is probably a good estimate of real data transfers. The major exception to this is AVL type applications and some telemetry applications where the message size is typically under 100 bytes. File sizes in the 100kByte and larger range are the exception, except when people are using CDPD to browse the Internet.
