Weird Network behavior

Hi,

I send an byte array as a member of a NetworkMessage over the network.

1. But when i send a byte array with a length of 1394 or greater the other connections get weird content. With the size of 1392 everything is ok.
2. And sending an odd size (greater than 1392) wont recognize.

If you want to do it yourself:

1. Open the project in Unity, build and run, start in editor.
2. Start one as server and one as client.
3. And send now the given sizes.

It will create an byte array with this size. The first byte is 0xFF. The others the char 'U'. (Only if you send by size)

Can you tell my why this happens?

 

Im not sure at 100% but has something to do with the transfer protocol.

Your maximum transfer unit(MTU) its something like 1500bytes but due to headers and security checks etc you have only 1392 bytes of information.

 

You should use a fragmented channel.

 

After 63 900 bytes the end is reached with NetworkMessages.

SendingBytes is interesting here, lets see.
