So the length-argument tells lnp_integrity_write how many bytes to send?
Doesn't that mean that it would be possible to send an array consisting of many
integers, for example? How would this be done?

| You just pass an array and give the length, to send it. In theory you can send packets with a size up to 255 bytes (look in this group, the info is in here somewhere), but sending 1 byte has a packet loss of aprox. 1% and 4 bytes aprox. 10%, over (...)
