What is limit of data that can be passed with jQuery ajax GET request

Question

This is the cross-domain request to the REST service:

$.ajax({
                type: "GET",
                dataType: "jsonp",
                contentType: "application/javascript",
                data: d,
                //crossDomain: true,
                async: false,
                url:"http://xx.xx.xx.xx/MyService/MyService.svc/GetData",
                success: function (jsonData) {
                    console.log(jsonData);
                    alert('Hello');
                },
                complete: function (request, textStatus) {
                    console.log(request.responseText);
                    console.log(textStatus);
                },
                error: function (request, textStatus, errorThrown) {
                    console.log(request.responseText);
                    console.log(textStatus);
                    console.log(errorThrown);
                }
});

Here, with data: d how much data I can send? Is there a limit?

Browser limit: It varies by browser. HTTP standards itself does not impose a limit. IE8 limit is 2,083 chars. Firefox supports much higher limits.

Web servers impose their own limit which are usually configurable. I think it is 2048 bytes for iis.
