To the best of my knowledge, that is correct, although I have never attempted a mega=packet. > I am planning to have at-least 2 variables of 4096 length. Is that a > cause for concern? Yes. The packet will almost certainly be fragmented (standard ethernet has a packet size limit of a little more than 1500 bytes, including header data), which may cause problems. However, it is not necessarily undoable, as a 10K byte reassembly should not distress any remotely modern IP stack. I am, of course, presuming that this trap will be sent infrequently.
