identify related packets #51

Open danwing opened 9 months ago

Could/should we signal 'related' packets with certain CIDs, with the intent the network tries to deliver all or none of them. For example a 3000 byte payload that needs to be split into 2-3 packets and is only useful if all packets are received.

This could be signaled as a bundle of CIDs which should are 'related', e.g., CID 123, 373, 673. (Note the CIDs are still randomly-chosen and have no natural relationship to each other)

I'm afraid that the more we require sophisticated state handling, the more it will be challenging to convince the network operators to implement CIDFI.
