Line 33:
Can Nagle's Algorithm handle packets of total length >65535? (cause it would be easy to support in theory, eg, if a packet is exactly 65535 then FFFF ~data~ 0000 , or if a packet is >65535 then (for 65536): FFFF ~data1~ 01 00 ~data2~~ , which could continue forever until a non-FFFF is reached or until 0000 is reached, but im just theorizing, i don't know how it _ACTUALLY_ works :o ) [[User:Divinity76|Divinity76]] ([[User talk:Divinity76|talk]]) 00:50, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
UPDATE:
answer from John Nagle himself: The maximum possible length for an IP datagram is 65535 bytes, because the size field in the IP header, for both IPv4 and IPv6, is only 16 bits.
