"pre">MEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_USE_UDP
</span></code></a> behavior
236 enabled. However, when using these operations with this behavior on, there are
237 limits to the size of the payload being sent to the server. The reason for
238 these limits is that the Memcached Server does not allow multi-datagram requests
239 and the current server implementation sets a datagram size to
1400 bytes. Due to
240 protocol overhead, the actual limit of the user supplied data is less than
1400
241 bytes and depends on the protocol in use as, well as the operation being
242 executed. When running with the binary protocol,

"MEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_BINARY_PROTOCOL"><code class=
"xref cpp cpp-any docutils literal notranslate"><span class=
"pre">MEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_BINARY_PROTOCOL
</span></code></a>, the size of the key,value, flags and
244 expiry combined may not exceed
1368 bytes. When running with the ASCII protocol,
245 the exact limit fluctuates depending on which function is being executed and
246 whether the function is a cas operation or not. For non-cas ASCII set
247 operations, there are at least
1335 bytes available to split among the key,
248 key_prefix, and value; for cas ASCII operations there are at least
1318 bytes
249 available to split among the key, key_prefix and value. If the total size of the
250 command, including overhead, exceeds
1400 bytes, a
