Christmas tree packet

created by everyone

(idea) by Jargon (1.8 y) (print) ? (I like it!) Thu Jul 19 2001 at 5:48:58

Christmas tree packet n.

A packet with every single option set for whatever protocol is in use. See kamikaze packet, Chernobyl packet. (The term doubtless derives from a fanciful image of each little option bit being represented by a different-colored light bulb, all turned on.) Compare Godzillagram.
