Overview

This proposal is about increasing the size limit on I2NP messages.

Motivation

iMule’s use of 12KB datagrams exposed lots of problems. The actual limit today is more like 10KB.

Design

To do:

  • Increase NTCP limit - not so easy?

  • More session tag quantity tweaks. May hurt max window size? Are there stats to look at? Make the number variable based on how many we think they need? Can they ask for more? ask for a quantity?

  • Investigate increasing SSU max size (by increasing MTU?)

  • Lots of testing

  • Finally check in the fragmenter improvements? - Need to do comparison testing first!
