the point is... should the client api change the packet to a size smaller than max limit?

or should i set the max_allowed_packet at server side?

this variable have some memory problem if changed to a big value?

today i'm using 1MB, but i don't know if i change for example to 1024MB i could break the server, does the max_allowed_packet just a limit, or a malloc parameter to alloc memory at each packet?
