[drats_users] transfer Block Sizes

[Arnold Harding]

I think I'm opening a can of worms by asking this, but I think I need 
to.



When a file is transferred, is the block size used that of the sender, 
the receiver, the originating station of the transfer, or the smallest 
block size of the stations involved?



I don't know what information gets passed when the handshake gets 
made, so I don't know the real answer.



What I'm thinking is several stations are in a Net, and all but one 
can reliably transfer files, etc. with a Block Size of 4096, and one 
poor sole can only do 128.  How many stations in that net must use a 
block size of 128?  Is it all stations, or only any station that wants 
to communicate with station 128?



To make it worse, if there are multiple ports, i.e. radios, I suppose 
I should set my transfer Block Size for the worst path?



Sorry.
