Re: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] [RFC] alfred: implement TCP support for server-to-server communication

I was also thinking that we might want to use TCP in general when the packet size reaches a certain threshold (e.g. >3kB), and always use UDP for small packets. Then we would also not need the commandline option (unless you think we should leave a way to force a mode). Any thoughts on that?

Hi Simon

Either/or behaviour like this can cause hard to understand issues. e.g. i opened a hole in the firewall to let Alfred traffic though, but it suddenly stops when the network gets big, because it swapped to TCP, and i don't have a hole of that. Similar for QoS filters, i prioritise UDP Alfred packets, but when it swaps to TCP they are not prioritised and get discarded during congestion...
