Btw, should we add to the manual some comment like:
• Handshake padding bypass — NNCP's sync protocol pads the first 
handshake message to ~65 KB to hide queue depth from observers. At 87 
BPS, transmitting 65 KB of padding takes over 12 minutes. A per-node 
configuration option to skip this padding would make connection 
establishment practical over HF.
