However, this ASSERT Message is only triggered if ndnSIM is compiled in debug mode (e.g., not with –d optimized), hence if you run ndnSIM in debug mode, the simulation will stop if the payload+header+tags is to large. Though if you run it without debug mode, the simulation will continue even with payloads that go beyond the MTU.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I’m wondering if this behaviour is intended, and I am also wondering what happens to too large payloads – I guess it could cause problems and produce inaccurate results in certain cases. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Hope to help,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Christian<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
