K-STAR has no hard limits on the number of zones, zone names, etc.*  It
is important, perhaps, to realize that K-STAR contains some KIP code,
more KIP features, but is not KIP.  The AppleTalk part of K-STAR is that
code which Kinetics has been working on (and distributing in our products)
for "all these years".

K-STAR sends as many RTMP packets as necessary in order to transfer
its routing information.

* the "soft limit" (ie: available memory) is there, however.
