Fix for: Can the maximum ping size of 65500 bytes can be increased?
Low Risk
The maximum size of an IPv4 packet is 65535 bytes of which some is protocol overhead so that data must be a couple bytes less than 65535 and a ping can't be more than one IP packet, so the answer is no. Why would you want to send a larger ping?
