Are you considering the size of IP and UDP headers? Those must be
factored in.
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.
Programs pushing such large UDP frames over ethernet don't "know" very
much IMHO....
