In RFC 2960

we have come across this note in RFC 2960

IMPLEMENTATION NOTE: An implementation MUST be prepared to receive a
INIT ACK that is quite large (more than 1500 bytes) due to the
variable size of the state cookie AND the variable address list. For
example if a responder to the INIT has 1000 IPv4 addresses it wishes
to send, it would need at least 8,000 bytes to encode this in the
INIT ACK.

the fragmentation of Data chunk is very clear,but in cases above note,
the size of the INIT CHUNK will be exceeding 1500 MTU, so how these chunks
have to be handle


thanx in advance
Dinesh
