Well, we did change from the paper which used 'maxpacket' rather than 'minbytes'

Minbytes is basically the mtu. I wanted something more abstract than 'mtu',
I felt maxpacket was confusing as it indicated packets

max_packet_size sort of makes sense, but... I went with minbytes.

Perhaps the paper can be changed to suit.
