Folks,

My name is John Leddy and I work at BBN on the SATNET project.  I noticed
several messages questioning the maximum packet size on the SATNET.
 
To clear things up, the SATNET has a maximum packet size of 256 bytes but
because of a 6 byte gateway to gateway header the maximum IP packet size is 
250 bytes.
