Description

The header giving file size was one of those stripped from Sarracenia to make the example, as it was unnecessary to make the protocol work. ETCTS wanted a header to indicate the size of products being advertised. The sarracenia has a header that gives this information, called *parts* (for partition strategy) which is fully documented. Changing the logic of that header is relatively difficult, so it should not be changed lightly. Putting a place holder here to track a discussion.

Research direction

Review the documented Sarracenia "parts" header and the discussion about ETCTS needing a product-size header. First establish the intended header semantics and whether the existing parts logic should remain unchanged; done means the project has an agreed protocol direction and a defined implementation scope.
