Follow-up Comment #8, patch #1446 (project freeciv):
Is this much traffic? On-line games impossible? I do not have any data to
compare. That is the size of the all packages currently needed to transfer
the ruleset?
For information: I got the result of 136279 bytes received for the default
ruleset in trunk at revision 17383 with the following hack in
common/packets_gen.c:
[...]
void delta_stats_reset(void) {}
#include <stdint.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>
void *get_packet_from_connection_helper(struct connection *pc,
enum packet_type type)
{
const char *name = packet_name(type);
if (name && type != PACKET_RULESET_CHOICES && strcasestr(name, "RULESET"))
{
static size_t total = 0;
uint16_t x;
memcpy(&x, pc->buffer->data, 2);
total += ntohs(x);
log_normal("Receiving %s (%d bytes, %lu total)", name, ntohs(x), total);
}
switch (type) {
case PACKET_PROCESSING_STARTED:
[...]
Can you make in your side a estimation of the size of the packet you
request?
I attached also the whole output. Note that the nation packets are very
numerous and big!

It is a very old behaviour of Freeciv version < 2.1. Now, the rulesets are
sent every time a connection is established, notably for selecting your race
at pre-game state. And if someone lose connection, it needs to receive again
all the datas, which can make the game very laggy sometimes.
