Hang on a second tho'. What sort of warped design process came up with the idea that a "ping" should be up to 64k in length? That's so far off the wall it's not even wrong (Feynmann). Whoever came up with that idea is the one at fault...


"Not even wrong" is something W. Pauli said first, although Feynman might have quoted him.


IPv4 ICMP echo request/response packets can be 64k in length.
