[net2-wg] Should packet segmentation be part of a dissemination protocol ?

[Stephen Dawson-Haggerty]

The only example of larger dissemination I can think of is Deluge.  I
think it's clear that a dissemination protocol that wants to transmit
larger messages needs to include segmentation to perform efficiently,
even if it also uses link-layer segmentation (the terminology gets a
little redundant here...)  However, the link's always going to have an
MTU and mostly it's often going to be <1k...
