Question about luasocket-2.0-alpha and udp packet size.

["Stewart, Joseph" <Joseph.Stewart@...>]

Title: Message

Hello Diego,

 

First let me say THANKS for your luasocket implementations over the years. They've been very useful to me.

 

Recently I began using luasocket-2.0-alpha to send/receive udp packets. I noticed in the documentation and code that you've set the max send/receive size to 576, but there's no real explanation as why.

 

Since I need to send/receive udp data ~1500 bytes, I just modified the UDP_DATAGRAMSIZE in udp.h to 1500 and everything seems to be okay.

 

Can you shed some illumination on why 576 was chosen as the buffer size and what I might break by changing it?

 

Thanks again!
