Comment (by cohosh):

 Replying to [comment:15 cohosh]:
 > Looking at the [https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-rtcweb-data-
 channel-13#section-6.6 webrtc specification] it seems to be a good idea to
 preserve user message boundaries when passing data to OnMessage().
 >
 > It also looks like the pion webrtc implementation is set up to check for
 `io.ErrShortBuffer` errors:
 [https://github.com/pion/webrtc/blob/master/datachannel.go#L292
 datachannel.go#L292], but it isn't handled.
 >
 > I think I'll go about this by writing two patches:
 > - a patch for pion/sctp that correctly forwards the error message
 Fixed with https://github.com/pion/sctp/pull/51
 > - a patch for pion/webrtc that calls `ReadDataChannel` again with a
 larger buffer
 Fixed with https://github.com/pion/webrtc/pull/719

 And Snowflake clients are now bootstrapping to 100% :)
