The common packet size is 1500, however, if you can use 9000, you will get much

I believe Rob is talking about MySQL packet sizes, not TCP/IP
(networking) packets.

Rob, as far as I know it is only limited by the amount of memory your
machine has.

Subject: max packet size question

Is there a practical maximum for max packet size? Is it simply a function of the amount of memory that you have?

From the manual <http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/server-system-variables.html>, "The protocol limit for max_allowed_packet is 16MB before MySQL 4.0 and 1GB thereafter."
