Godzillagram
/god.zil'@.gram/, n.
[from Japan's national hero]
1. A network packet that in theory is a broadcast to every machine in
the universe. The typical case is an IP datagram whose destination IP
address is [255.255.255.255]. Fortunately, few gateways are foolish
enough to attempt to implement this case!
2. A network packet of maximum size. An IP Godzillagram has 65,535
octets. Compare {super source quench}, {Christmas tree packet},
{martian}.
