[Tinyos-help] message_t payload size

[Ákos Maróy]

I edited to multihop oscilloscope application to include more
information, and I saw that there's a limit on the message payload size,
as defined in message.h:

#ifndef TOSH_DATA_LENGTH
#define TOSH_DATA_LENGTH 28
#endif

#ifndef TOS_BCAST_ADDR
#define TOS_BCAST_ADDR 0xFFFF
#endif

typedef nx_struct message_t {
  nx_uint8_t header[sizeof(message_header_t)];
  nx_uint8_t data[TOSH_DATA_LENGTH];
  nx_uint8_t footer[sizeof(message_footer_t)];
  nx_uint8_t metadata[sizeof(message_metadata_t)];
} message_t;


I wonder if it's feasable to extend the message size, and what the
consequencies are? should one send more smaller packets instead of one
bigger one?
