Why burden the application programmer to handcode an estimation of the average
each
time? I can not see a justification for this, certainly not for CCIDs which
are intended to be used with (on average) fixed packet sizes.
I think that a priority is to keep the user programming interface as simple as
possible -- like UDP's interface, as stated in RFC 4340.
But if DCCP_SOCKOPT_TX_PACKET_SIZE defaults to the MSS, which the drafts
explicitly allow, then there's no burden on the application programmer.
Hopefully this is my last mail on this subject; I do not think it is that
important. The option seems potentially useful and not a huge burden.
Calculating the average would be good too. But we do not have a patch for
that at the moment.
