kamikaze packet
n. The official jargon for what is more commonly called a Christmas tree
packet. RFC -1025, TCP and IP Bake Off says: 10 points for correctly being
able to process a Kamikaze packet (AKA nastygram, christmas tree packet,
lamp test segment, et al.). That is, correctly handle a segment with the
maximum combination of features at once (e.g., a SYN URG PUSH FIN segment
with options and data). See also Chernobyl packet.
