UNET Setting up a new channel and subsequently message fragmentation
Hello, Trying to send a large byte array from Client to Server and was immediately told it was too large and that the channel (I was using channel 0) does not support message segmentation. So I was looking into adding a new channel of type "Reliable Fragmented".
So, I started by simply adding a channel to the default config like this:
int Channel;
NetworkClient NetClient = new NetworkClient ();
Channel = NetworkClient.hostTopology.DefaultConfig.AddChannel (QosType.ReliableFragmented);
NetClient.SendByChannel (100, NetMsg, Channel);
When I attempted to Send like this I received the following errors:
channelid < connection -> config -> MaxChannels ();
Invalid channelID (2) for connection (1)
At that point I figured maybe it is not working because I am setting this channel up after connecting? So I did this:
int Channel;
NetworkClient NetClient = new NetworkClient ();
ConnectionConfig Config = new ConnectionConfig ()
Config.addChannel (QosType.Reliable);
Config.addChannel (QosType.Unreliable);
Channel = Config.AddChannel (Qos.RelaibleFragmented);
HostTopology Toplogy = new HostTopology (Config, 10000);
NetClient.Configure (Topology);
NetClient.Connect (serverIP, serverPort);
NetClient.SendByChannel (100, NetMsg, Channel);
Error:
CRCmismatch
Any advice? What are the best practices steps in order to set up a custom channel that allows for message fragmentation?
Thanks, Sean
I added a new channel to both the client and the server using:
Client:
NetworkClient NetClient = new NetworkClient ();
NetClient.hostTopology.DefaultConfig.AddChannel (QosType.ReliableFragmented);
Server:
NetworkServer.hostTopology.DefaultConfig.AddChannel (QosType.ReliableFragmented);
I no longer get the CRC$$anonymous$$ismatch error but I do get the following:
channelId < connection ->config->$$anonymous$$axChannels()
Wrong channelId {2} for connectionId {1}
On the Client side.
Nothing makes it Server Side.
I know people have done this successfully, if they could give me an example of what they did to set this up I would appreciate it greatly.
Thanks, Sean
the client and server must have the same channel configurations. that is what causes CRC error.
I tried the same code on both sides, still got CRC error. Is there something I am missing perhaps?
I got it,
Here it is:
Server:
ConnectionConfig Config = new ConnectionConfig ();
Config.AddChannel (QosType.Reliable);
Config.AddChannel (QosType.Unreliable);
Config.AddChannel (QosType.ReliableFragmented);
HostTopology Topology = new HostTopology (Config, MaxConnections);
NetworkServer.Configure (Topology);
NetworkServer.Connect (Port);
Client:
NetworkClient NetClient = new NetworkClient ();
ConnectionConfig Config = new ConnectionConfig ();
Config.AddChannel (QosType.Reliable);
Config.AddChannel (QosType.Unreliable);
Config.AddChannel (QosType.ReliableFragmented);
HostTopology Topology = new HostTopology (Config, MaxConnections);
NetClient.Configure (Topology);
NetClient.Connect (ServerIP, ServerPort);

Hi Sean, Thanks much. This is very much helpful as i searched most of the post and was not able to succeed in sending image over network. Finally, landed up here and it was a piece of cake :-)
