[Csci551-talk] Segment update message size problem

[Abhishek Rathi]

Hi,

If we have 20K file to be transferred then the seed will have to send
20K/32=640 segment numbers, when segment update takes place. To send 640
segment numbers in a message will take about 1280 bytes( and may be more if
larger file is considered ) considering that each segment number is stored
as uint16_t which takes 2 bytes per integer. So what is the maximum
permissible message size for the segment update message?

Is there any other way to implement this which help us to reduce the message
size ? please comment.
