Amazon EC2 metered bandwidth. IP or TCP level?

Assuming I have a long lasting persistent TCP connection from my EC2 instance to a client and I send a single byte every 30 seconds (app level keep-alive).

Is that counted as 1 byte traffic, or are TCP headers or even Ethernet overhead counted in as well (which would significantly change the equation)?

Typically bandwidth is measured at the switch level. And they measure the size of all your packets.

I would assume that's what Amazon does for EC2.
