We currently appear to default to 64, which is pretty good.
That's going to cover 99% of packets IP+TCP header data.
The real benefit in ensuring that all the IP+TCP/UDP/ICMP
header data is included. There's not a lot of benefit in sending
back 400 bytes of HTTP headers because the receiving stack
just won't use it.
64 is barely adequate if you've got any substantial tunneling going
on -- and oft-times not usable, which is why the newer specs say you
should send back as much as you can.
You're thinking of PPTP, L2TP and others that aren't encrypted?
