We would like to run some communications experiments using large IP packets
( >= 16k bytes) between two Suns connected on a Hyperchannel as a
prelude to general TCP/IP use on a Hyperchannel.

Does anyone have experience doing this or know of any reference to
this being tried? We are not as much concerned about hacking the
code to make this work as we are about monitoring the performance
and tuning the packet sizes. Thanks for any input.
