Thanks Alan,
Good point. I believe the largest possible packets would fully loaded author
reply, which is a little over 3* 2^16, so anything over 2^18 must be illegal. I
think that we can add that Implementations MUST allow control over maximum
packet sizes, with recommendations at 2^16, as you suggest.

One minor comment on reading the latest draft. Section 4.1 defines the
packet header, and defines a 32-bit length field:
length
The total length of the packet body (not including the header).
It would be good to state limits on the values of this field.
i.e. lengths larger than 2^24 are forbidden, and lengths larger than 2^16
are suspicious.
Alan DeKok.
