Re: Why packets (from my ISP to me) on the WAN VC side of my router are twice the size of packets on the Ethernet (and a corresponding twice as many bytes)

Could be MTU differences, and the router needing to do something (e.g.
1500 on the LAN side, and 1452 on the WAN, which is usually typical for
DSL / PPPoE connections).
It's a bit hard to figure out what you're actually seeing happen though,
since your post somehow repeated itself several times, in a pretty big
mess (there wasn't a given start / end of one post, but rather several
copies interleaved).
