[ndnSIM] How to set content packet size?

[Spyridon (Spyros) Mastorakis]

Folks,

just to add something to Yuhang’s response:

You will have to change the value of the following constant variable as well. This variable determines the maximum NDN packet size:

As Yuhang pointed out, though, sending out data packets of size 1MB is not very practical.

However, it is impractical to have 1MB "packets" transmission in real world. So you need to segment the chunks into MTU size packets before transmission.
