Buffer length is defined in the source of the application you're trying to write 0day for.
So you should know programming, or reverse engineering.

There is no size limit, only time limit. If you want to transfer 1tb of data, you can. But itll take some time tho. If you are asking for buffer size, that is(as already said) determined by the software in the other end. If you are referring to TCP/IP packet length that would be 1500 bytes and UDP ~500 bytes(?). Tho all of those sizes is determined by the OS so I guess they can be increased somehow.

If I understand correctly you asked: "And what does programmers do to defend/protect again malicious network packets?": Don't overflow your buffers. And filter/secure your input.

What kind of protocol are you talking about? Something like TCP UDP and so or something like the MSN protocol?
