It really depends on the payload. We used to have a limit of 64k, but that has been lifted with the possibility of one or more large option blocks within an XSP message. The smallest XSP control message is simply the header (56 bytes). The smallest message with payload is 56 byte header + 6 byte option header + 1 byte payload = 63 bytes.

Both CoDel and PIE allow you to bias dropping in favor of small packets.
It's assumed that small means more likely to be realtime. What packet
size does XSP use?
