>> If you have a slow network link, you need to reduce chunksize.
The right answer is to have RX negotiate a chunk size on a
per-connection basis. This way, you have have 2^16 bytes chunks on
the local net, and 2^14 chunks on the slower links to the rest of the
world. It should be possible to specify an MTU, also.
Are there any plans on doing this sort of thing for AFS 3? Will the
DCE RPC used by AFS 4 (DFS) do the right thing?
