   Long transfer with 64 KB packets ?

   Hello,   
      
   Some years ago I did a test with a large file transfer.   
      
   The udp packet size was something like 64000 bytes.   
      
   Everything seemed to be going nice... but after a while the packets did not   
   come through anymore.   
      
   I wondered what happened ?!?   
      
   Perhaps it was application problem... but I don't think so... perhaps it was   
   winsock problem.   
      
   Or perhaps the internet/routers have certain rules that if they are   
   "spammed" with many little 1500 or 500 packets from   
   larger udp packets that after a certain threshold they simply start to drop   
   packets ? :|   
      
   Hmm.. well maybe my app should get some icmp support to figure out what's   
   happening next time ;) :)   
      
   Bye,   
     Skybuck :)
