Each packet can be no more than 64K but an SMB_COM_NT_TRANSACTION may
be multiple PDUs for what might amount to an endless stream (i.e. named
pipe). The MaxParameterCount field in the request indicates how large
the response can be. From the one pcap I have of W2K<-->W2K it's 4096.

A  program should be written to model the concepts of the task it
performs rather than the physical world or a process because this
maximizes  the  potential  for it to be applied to tasks that are
conceptually  similar and, more important, to tasks that have not
yet been conceived.
