Please see my previous email for analysis why this is simply not the
case.

If you disagree with my analysis please explain the scenario where
the client would send 16KB HEADERS to a device which have never
accepted frames larger than 256 bytes ?

Specifically, I want to know what's in that 16KB HEADER frame and
why it is there...

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
