Exactly the right size :-).

Seriously, estimating future network throughput is a black art best left to network engineers, but the SQL*Net overhead should be quite small compared to the 345000 bytes of payload. It's probably more comparable to the TCP overhead, IP overhead or physical layer overhead. The only way to find out for sure is to install a snoop module between the two-task common layer and the TCP layer to see what's added to the conversation, as it depends on the version, your configuration options, your naming (routing) method, your physical layer (if you include TNS overhead) and whether your connection is encrypted.
