What RTP payload format(s) are you using?  I.e., what type of packets 
(i.e., what codec) are the packets that contain only 20-30 payload bytes?

(I hope you're not referring to RTCP packets.  Those will be about the size 
that you mention, but they're infrequent (occurring only once every few 
seconds on average), and should not cause you a problem.)

>(moreover, I am using IPv6, thus the IP header is 40 bytes...)

That I don't understand, because the LIVE.COM code currently doesn't even 
support IPv6!
