The reason to extend the max PDU size from 4095 Byte (12 bit length value) to a 32 bit value (up to 4 GByte) was to be able to flash 64 kByte bootloaders with a single ISO-TP PDU. The max PDU size in the Linux kernel implementation was set to 8200 Bytes to be able to test the length information escape sequence. It turns out that the demand for 64 kByte PDUs is real so the value for MAX_MSG_LENGTH is set to 66000 to be able to potentially add some checksums to the 65.536 Byte block.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
