Godzillagram
<networking> /god-zil'*-gram/ (From Japan's national hero and datagram)
1. A network packet that in theory is a broadcast to every machine in the
universe. The typical case is an IP datagram whose destination IP address is
[255.255.255.255]. Fortunately, few gateways are foolish enough to attempt to
implement this case!
2. A network packet of maximum size. An IP Godzillagram has 65,536 octets.
Compare super source quench.
