ABSTRACT:
A network messaging protocol is used to send an arbitrary size packet over the network from a source machine to a destination machine. If the packet is accepted by the routers along the path of the potential network connection, then the destination machine will be able to echo the test message packet back to the source machine and an acceptable packet size is set equal to the test message packet size. If not, after a suitable time out, the source machine will send another test message with a different packet size than the initial arbitrary packet size and wait for echo and repeat the process until an acceptable packet size is discovered.
