I can't help with that, but it does remind me that in the 6net project
I worked with Jacques Saint-Blancat of IBM La Gaude, who confessed that it
was he personally who, as a WG Secretary, first wrote down the 48-byte
compromise payload size for ATM, which of course automatically produced
53 bytes as the cell size.

More recently I worked on IPv6 stuff with Rémi Després, the X.25 designer.

Interesting that these guys showed up in IPv6-land.
