Agreed, let's go for octet-counting. How would that look like? Two octets before every message? That would limit message size to 64k, is that sufficient? (I personally say it is, messages larger than 64k would potentially mean that they cannot be held in memory) -- Bazsi _______________________________________________ Syslog mailing list Syslog@lists.ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/syslog
