[`SEND` command](#send-message) includes the notification flag to instruct SMP server whether to send the notification - this flag is forwarded to the recepient inside encrypted envelope, together with the timestamp and the message body, so even if TLS is compromised this flag cannot be used for traffic correlation.

Each transport block (SMP transmission) has a fixed size of 16384 bytes for traffic uniformity.
Each transport block has a fixed size of 16384 bytes for traffic uniformity.
From SMP version 4 each block can contain multiple transmissions, version 3 blocks have 1 transmission.
Some parts of SMP transmission are padded to a fixed size; this padding is uniformly added as a word16 encoded in network byte order - see `paddedString` syntax.

`base64` encoding should be used with padding, as defined in section 4 of [RFC 4648][9]
