GNUTELLA: Query Too Large

This protocol anomaly is a Gnutella QUERY message with a payload length that exceeds the user-defined maximum number of bytes. The default line length is 256; you can change this setting in the Sensor Settings Rulebase>Protocol Thresholds and Configuration>Gnutella>Maximum query size. The range of valid query sizes is 256 to 4096; however, the Gnutella RFC recommends a 256-byte maximum for QUERY messages.
