| src/net.h | ||
|---|---|---|
| 65 ↗ | (On Diff #2978) | So is it 2MB or 1MB? |
| src/net.cpp | ||
|---|---|---|
| 715 ↗ | (On Diff #2981) | What's the purpose of this? It seems like for the foreseeable future, max block size will be quite a bit larger than MAX_PROTOCOL_MESSAGE_LENGTH, rendering this if-statement useless. If you feel that there's some worth to scaling the accepted message size, perhaps MAX_PROTOCOL_MESSAGE_LENGTH should be scaled according to max block size instead? |
| src/net.cpp | ||
|---|---|---|
| 715 ↗ | (On Diff #2981) | Why would you accept absurdly large protocol message for anything that's not the content of a block ? It just opens you to DoS with zero benefits. |
| src/net.cpp | ||
|---|---|---|
| 715 ↗ | (On Diff #2981) | You wouldn't. I'm saying this if-statement will not be reached if msg.hdr.nMessageSize > MAX_PROTOCOL_MESSAGE_LENGTH, where MAX_PROTOCOL_MESSAGE_LENGTH is always (usually?) < 2 * config.GetMaxBlockSize(). |
| src/net.cpp | ||
|---|---|---|
| 715 ↗ | (On Diff #2981) | It also checks for NetMsgType::IsBlockLike . It'll fail only if this isn't a message that can contain a block content. |
