John,
We use sap-max-packetsize 1376 on our WAN links (lots or SAPs), and it
never seems to have caused problems. It might depend on what else you are
running though - if links are also being used for video or anything else
that doesn't like to be held up behind large packets, it might not be such
a good idea (yeah, you might be able to do fragmentation again, but what's
the point?)

I left EtherPeek running on my workstation all night to get a feel for
the amount of broadcast traffic in our network. In 15 hours we had over
72,000 SAP replies, most of which were from our router. I then noticed
that it was using 480-byte packets which seems really inefficient.
Would I be asking for some unforeseen trouble if I were to configure
ipx sap-max-packetsize 1440 to triple the number of servers advertised
per packet? This alone would dramatically reduce the number of
broadcast packets on our network. However, it would be just my luck if
there were some consequences to this that I wasn't aware of.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
John
