Did you remember to do the calculation for IPV6 as well as IPv4, and also to repeat the calculation for the maximum number of IP options (consider an IPv4 packet that has timestamps, source routing, *and* record route options, for example - see page 16 of RFC791, and similar for IPv6), and then *also* the max number of legal TCP option headers?
