Jeffrey mentioned in <[email protected]> that it's around 255 (it might be 255 or 254 or something due to some special values; I don't remember). It doesn't need to be that way forever, though; it's just an artifact of the internal vldb structure, and is exposed I believe only in one place on the wire, for interpreting multihomed addresses. While I think it may be possible to increase this without modifying the public protocol, for all intents and purposes it doesn't seem too likely until the vl rpcs have been revised to support a bunch of new things. -- Andrew Deason [email protected] _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
