Can we agree on this? 1) is indeed what this was originally about but **the proposed change** would result in 2) and 3) becoming a problem in the first place. 2) and 3) would never happen with the current specification. > Also, shouldn't 3) be solved by correctly negotiating the max-message-size in the SDP O/A ? The receive buffer has nothing to do and should never impact the maximum message size (important: **it would** with the proposed change here which is why I'm still arguing!). For example, Firefox uses a buffer of 1 MiB but can receive messages up to 2 GiB. It takes the messages out of the SCTP receive buffer and adds it to a separate reassembly buffer on the channel instance. However, there is no flow control signal because if that would get fed back to the receive buffer, 2) and 3) would suddenly become an issue. -- GitHub Notification of comment by lgrahl Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/webrtc-pc/issues/2086#issuecomment-458121539 using your GitHub account
