Solaris 2.5.1 -> Solaris 2.5.1 65535 (what you expect)
>From this it appears Linux 2.1.x has an output limit of 65507 bytes
and an input limit of 65476 bytes. Further, Linux 2.0.36 has an output
limit of 65507 bytes (same as 2.1.x) and an input limit of 51792
bytes.
Packets which exceed the maximum size go to the big bit bucket in the
sky. RIP. This is a problem for programmes which "know" that they can
send 65535 byte packets over UDP.
