The implementation guarantees it will be less than your total address space;-)

It contains a ticket; the spec sets no length on tickets.  Typically
with MIT Kerberos, you can see messages containing ap_req as short as
511 bytes, but messages exceeding 4KB are not unheard of.  You
probably should support at least 64k, probably significantly more.
