I found it fairly clear that the two directions of a channel are mostly independent and that each direction has it's own values for window size and maximum packet size.One thing I would like to see clarified here but haven't seen mentioned is what level the max packet size applies at.Again, I couldn't agree more. I interpret it as a maximum data payload in CHANNEL_DATA / CHANNEL_EXTENDED_DATA.
I agree this is unclear. We don't enforce anything for max packet size (other than the 35K limit at the transport level), and for the purposes of sending, I interpreted the max packet as the maximum size of the outgoing SSH packet before compression and encryption. Maximum size of the data payload would be a heck of a lot easier though ... I'd prefer a different name if it doesn't actually refer to the packet. Thanks, Joseph
