strategy for stream chunk-splitted stuctures about restructure HOT 2 OPEN

If I understand correctly, you suggest to add the packet size at the start of each packet. This would be a modification of the network protocol.

I was trying to understand how, given a protocol, I could use restructure to parse it knowing that the chunks I receive are not always aligned on the restructure specifications.

It seems like https://www.npmjs.com/package/binary-data handles this by waiting for additional chunks when there is not enough data.

Is there a plan to make DecodeStream work with streams and be aware of boundary issues ?

To do so, a field corresponding to the packet size must be placed at the beginning of each packet like what VersionedStruct does with version number. It affects the stream design approach, it is no nothing :(
