Can someone please help me recall the command used to see the distribution of packet sizes on an interface?

Hi, you can use the show command using the output modifiers and get the number of packets and the number of bytes. I am not a math wiz but with some division you should be able to calculate the packet size. Give the following command a try. Hope it helps

int#show int fa0/22 | inc packets

5 minute inputrate 1000 bits/sec,2packets/sec

5 minute output rate2000bits/sec,3packets/sec

18622 packets input, 1687332 bytes

0 input packets with dribble condition detected

25468 packets output, 2193290 bytes, 0 underruns

int#show int fa0/22 | inc bytes

MTU 1500 bytes, BW 100000 Kbit, DLY 100 usec,

19316 packets input, 1748213 bytes

26342 packets output, 2260220 bytes, 0 underruns
