I don't think that the limit applies to the total network size, it applies to the maximum size of a single NODE-STATE TLV. If memory serves, HNCP is able to send each NODE-STATE in a separate datagram, so the network can grow without bound; it's the amount of data published by a single node that is limited to slightly less than 9kB. However, I agree that this could prove problematic if you build a very dense network (a single node with a lot of neighbours) or if you have large numbers of external connections terminating at a single node. -- Juliusz _______________________________________________ homenet mailing list homenet@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/homenet
