- I need to know the maximum allowable size of user data
- in a udp message. The sendto man page on my hp specifies
- a maximum value of 9216 bytes for hp series 300 and 800.
-
- I can't seem to find the same information for Sun3, and
- Sun4 Sparc. Does anyone know the maximum value? How
- about on other platforms?
-
- Besides sending packets of increasing size until sento
- returns EMSGSIZE, is there any way to find this information
- in header files? I will need to find a common maximum for
- a number of platforms and would like to save time searching
- for the values.
-
- Thank you in advance,
-
- John.
