[comp.dcom.lans] What Size IP pkts on TR?

raj@hpindwa.HP.COM (Rick Jones) (06/29/90)

a question you may have already seen on comp.protocols.tcp-ip...

If I were to stick an analyzer on a TR and look at the TCP/IP traffic,
what size packets would I see as the largest - ie what is the most
common largest packet size supported by vendors x,y, and z? Given the
value today, what could I expect that value to be 2 years from now...?
I have the 'max specs' based on the 802.5 stuff, but am more
interested in what people actually support...

VINES TCP/IP Implementation uses 1520 as the largest packet on TR. Although
I don't know our plans for the future, I would not be surprised at all 
if we pushed that up.
