Recently I rediscovered something that we included in RFC 8990: "2.8.3. Message Size
GRASP nodes MUST be able to receive unicast messages of at least GRASP_DEF_MAX_SIZE bytes. GRASP nodes MUST NOT send unicast messages longer than GRASP_DEF_MAX_SIZE bytes unless a longer size is explicitly allowed for the objective concerned. For example, GRASP negotiation itself could be used to agree on a longer message size." In other words, the method of bulk transfer described in draft-ietf-anima-grasp-distribution at Section 4.3 "Bulk Information Transfer" could be improved by first negotiating a larger message size than the default 2048 bytes. That might improve efficiency for distributing large files. (All it really changes in a GRASP implementation over TLS or TCP is the buffer sized set in two or three socket recv() calls.)
