Audit the packet bloat. Calculate the byte-level overhead added by initialization vectors (IV), nonces, authentication tags, and padding in encrypted network traffic.
Encryption overhead of 28 bytes can trigger IP fragmentation if the total packet exceeds the 1500-byte MTU. For small messages (e.g. IoT heartbeats), this 2.7% overhead can double your bandwidth costs.
