The BP endpoint class in pyion (.py) offers the ability to the user of sending data in chunks of a given size, which is provided as a parameter. This is useful if the user wants to send/receive a very large binary object that would be difficult for ION or the DTN to handle as a single object.
Chunking in pyion is implemented taking advantage of the Python buffer protocol, using memoryview objects. However, the feature remains highly untested and thus there are no guarantees that it will work correctly.
