Indeed, AMQP does specify the binary wire-level protocol. To find out
the exact overheads, I suggest you either read that and do the
calculations yourself, or fire up wireshark, send a few such messages,
and from the capture, you'll be able to see exactly how much data is
being transferred per message.
