Does it mean to rename MAX_PACKET_SIZE to MIN_PACKET_SIZE ?


Huh, I thought we enlarged the MAX_PACKET_SIZE to 65536.
We should have DEF_PACKET_SIZE=8192 (or MIN_PACKET_SIZE) and
MAX_PACKET_SIZE=65536

Currently we allow to set packet size to > 65536 which
is hazardous.

I think MAX_PACKET_SIZE was the old limit on AJP packets. Packets were allowed of any sizes up to MAX_PACKET_SIZE. Buffers were always allocated at that size, which was the mativation for the "<" comparison. Later e added the ability to configure bigger maximum packet sizes and I think there is no "maximum maximum packet size" on the Tomcat side. If you want you can try to use monster sizes. In mod_jk we limit it to 64KB (I forgot why).

So I think the code is OK, it depends on what your interpretation of the "MAX" is. Renaming from MAX_PACKET_SIZE to DEFAULT_MAX_PACKET_SIZE wouldn't harm except for moving the code further away from the previous versions without any real benefit.
