New text in 4.3.3:
The main decision is whether the message must be sent in C-mode or
D-mode. Reasons for using C-mode are:
[snip]
o message size: a message whose size (including the GIST header,
GIST objects and any NSLP payload, and an allowance for the IP and
transport layer encapsulation required by D-mode) exceeds a
fragmentation-related threshold MUST be sent over C-mode. The
allowance for IP and transport layer encapsulation is 64 bytes.
If the Path MTU to the next peer is known, the message size MUST
NOT exceed that Path MTU; if the Path MTU is not known, the
message size MUST NOT exceed 576 bytes.
Other minor changes also made as described below. |
