Thanks! Let's drop the _mult suffix and add a mention of this
controlling the addFragSize variable from the standard. Perhaps 
it should in fact be called add_frag_size (with an explanation 
that the "additional" means "above the 64B" which are required in
Ethernet, and which are accounted for by the "1" in the 1 + X formula)?
