[p2p-hackers] Optimal UDP Message size for data streaming...

[David Barrett]

UDP MTU is around 1500 *bytes* not *kilobytes*.  The actual MTU depends on a
zillion factors (a wide ranging discussion was on the list a while back); I
eventually settled on 1472 bytes for iGlance and it seems to work.

I've tried to get TCP-ASYNC Connect to work for a while; i think its
basicaly a ail marry pass; so i'm going to implement data streaming over
udp....i jst have one questions...what is a good size to make the udp
messages (data) when sending over the internet...i know most MTUs are about
1500K; is it better to chunk data at say 32 or 64K or keep the size smaller.
My application works over the internet...not a corporate Internet...so
bandwidth an all that plays a role.

 

thank for the help.
