Re: "message too big" error

[Haobo Yu <haoboy@isi.edu>]

The maximum message size in Agent/Message is defined in ~ns/message.h,
which is 64 bytes. If you want bigger message size, you can either
implement your own agent to include your own data inside the userdata
area of a packet, or to modify message.h to increase the maximum message
size.
