| MTU (IP Payload) | Fixed Overhead Ratio | Relative Efficiency (1500B) | Relative NAV Duration | Optimal Environment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 64 B (IoT Sensor) | High (e.g., 40–50% overhead) | ~50% | Very Short | High density, low latency, real-time control. |
| 576 B (IPv4 Minimum) | Moderate | ~93% | Short | Moderate density, stable fallback, transactional traffic. |
| 1500 B (Standard Ethernet) | Low (e.g., 2.7% overhead) | ~97% | Long | Low density, high throughput, high PHY rate. |
| 2304 B (802.11 Max MSDU) | Minimal | ~98% | Maximum | Highly centralized, dedicated backhaul links. |
