Thanks of the explanation! But do I want to load this index? When I look at "2.1. Stream" in https://tukaani.org/xz/xz-file-format.txt it's comes after the blocks. So at this point all data is already decompressed at the sink.

Hi, we send lzma2 compressed data over some GiGe network. We are wondering what are the limitations regarding maximum transmission time is. When I read the format description there are two limitations: The total size of a stream must be less than 8 EiB (2^63 bytes). This gives years of streaming even at maximum speed ;-) The maximum size of the index field is 16 GiB. There is a index indicator (1 byte), the number of records (8byte) and then the individual records (16byte each). This gives 1073741823...
