“As a baseline reality check, we should not be sending over 1% of a 3.5" floppy disk purely in signatures and public keys.”

Really? This is a ridiculous statement and sounds like we're worried about bandwidth consumption from the time when a US Robotics modem was a luxury.

As the article explains, it’s about latency, not bandwidth.

Maybe they were alluding to floppy disk access times. ;)

It is a strange comparison indeed, esp. with some generations of engineers might not even know what a floppy disk was, let alone imagine how the 1% of the capacity translates to network protocols.
