Research the trade-offs of an increment on max_packet_msg_payload_size #185

Open ggarri opened 5 years ago

ggarri commented 5 years ago

Currently, we are using a value of 1024 bytes as max_packet_msg_payload_size. In order to optimize communication and prevent limitations on the usage of the network, we should evaluate an increment of x2 or x3 on the size of max_packet_msg_payload_size.

This task aims to collect every possible trade-off cause by that increment including a detailed strategy on how to communicate the update to network users as this update causes incompatibility between peers.
