One possible tweak: if Intent is in fact short enough to fit in one message, we send it via GRASP. If not, we send the file coordinates. Just needs a little syntactic sugar in the Intent objective. > > So, from my point, no problem with a maximum message size of 2048 bytes, as > long as we send the Intent file separately :-) Yes. I would tend to do it by defining a new constant GRASP_MSG_LIMIT so that the value (2048 or whatever) is only specified in one place, along with the other protocol constants. Any other opinions?
