Feature #4814
closed
The ndn-lite fragmentation header described on the wiki supports a maximum of 32 fragments (5-bit sequence number). This is not enough to fragment a large NDN packet to make it fit a very small MTU link. For example, IEEE 802.15.4 typically supports frames of up to 127 bytes, which means the network layer packet cannot be larger than 3968 bytes.
The ndn-lite fragmentation header supports a maximum of 32 fragments. This is not enough to fragment a large NDN packet to make it fit a very small MTU link.
The goal of this issue is to interoperate with NDN-Lite for packets supported by both sides. This would mean a lower limit of "practical maximize L3 packet size", and the lack of Nack packets.
Packets not supported by NDN-Lite have to be dropped.

- Status changed from New to Abandoned
This is no longer relevant because NDN-Lite has been abandoned.
