kamikaze packet

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}.
