In the error codes there's a QUIC_PACKET_TOO_LARGE error, but there's no maximum packet size specified anywhere in the document.

Does it make sense to define a maximum packet size or must a QUIC implementation be capable of handling packets with the maximum UDP packet size? Google QUIC currently uses 1452 as the maximum packet size (= Ethernet MTU - minimum UDP header size).
