13:50:44 <br-m> <spirobel:kernal.eu> > <@kayabanerve:matrix.org> Block size _shouldn't_ be downstream from the packet size though, and the packet size probably _should_ be decreased because it's laughably large now. Decoupling them will improve the block size and safety of the P2P layer.
13:50:44 <br-m> <spirobel:kernal.eu> we are not talking about a perfect world. We are talking about what the current state is. That constant seems to be the limiting factor for levin throughput. We can talk about that in a separate issue. And close the current one. With the current issue title the chance that something productive comes out of this is between null [... too long, see https://mrelay.p2pool.observer/e/0teZ3tIKX29UVVhs ]
21:33:37 <br-m> <kayabanerve:matrix.org> It isn't even replacing levin though. It's just redesigning the block sync protocol. To redefine in terms of packet size doesn't change there's a constant we'd have to hard fork regarding which is evaluated to a literal amount of bytes.
21:34:10 <br-m> <kayabanerve:matrix.org> You're welcome to make your own proposal ofc, but sounds like a layer of indirection to argue benefits for a direction we shouldn't head down.
21:34:34 <br-m> <kayabanerve:matrix.org> And/or achieve certain public relations criteria.
