+ * From RFC 1831:
+ *
+ * "A record is composed of one or more record fragments.  A record
+ *  fragment is a four-byte header followed by 0 to (2**31) - 1 bytes of
+ *  fragment data.  The bytes encode an unsigned binary number; as with
+ *  XDR integers, the byte order is from highest to lowest.  The number
+ *  encodes two values -- a boolean which indicates whether the fragment
+ *  is the last fragment of the record (bit value 1 implies the fragment
+ *  is the last fragment) and a 31-bit unsigned binary value which is the
+ *  length in bytes of the fragment's data.  The boolean value is the
+ *  highest-order bit of the header; the length is the 31 low-order bits.
+ *  (Note that this record specification is NOT in XDR standard form!)"
+ *
+ * The Linux RPC client always sends its requests in a single record
+ * fragment, limiting the maximum payload size for stream transports to
+ * 2GB.
