I believe octet and bit string segmentation can begin occurring at 512 byte boundaries, so if one was segmenting (or interoperating with someone that did) one would like to avoid this costly segmentation business as much as possible. So I'd place my bet on a max of 512 bytes or at least a multiple thereof. (how about looking at the protocols you want to pass?) (no flames- it's JUST a guess!) kevin
