I think what you may be searching for is:

http://manual.snort.org/node33.html#SECTION004622000000000000000

stream_size.

Hi Tyler,

I don't think you would be able to achieve this through rules. Dependent on the MTU at your network, packet payload 
will be constrained. For example, if the MTU is 1500 and you are looking at a TCP session , then your maximum payload 
will be 1460 excluding IP and TCP headers, given that no IP and TCP options are available in the packet. This is 
different for UDP and ICMP. Not to mention the OS's in use and fragmentation.

That said, Stream5 preprocessor may help. Specifically, the "max_queued_bytes" and "max_queued_segs". Also, look at the 
Stream5 readme in the Snort tarball (Stream API). I would assume that your Frag3 is also configured for the target OS's 
in use.

Thanks
YM
