[rabbitmq-discuss] Question on packing of Bytes into Ethernet Frame for AMQP protocol

[Priyanki Vashi]

Hi All ,

Thank you for your replies.

I still have following question on them.
It might be basic but I want to thoroughly understand what is the
difference between pika-client and other client (like .net or erlang, Java)
when it comes to such packing.

1) As I learnt now Pika, Erlang , Java and .net clients all set TCP_NODELAY
flag, which means that there is no intelligence within this clients to pack
bytes together to make almost equal to MTU. Is it correct ?

2) And then in case of some clients like Erlang, Java and .net, the
aggregation happens in buffer prior to hitting the O/S network layer so
then why it's not the behaviour in pika-clients ?

My MTU size is set to 1500 bytes but I don't see that such agreegation
happening.


3) I can see that server does such packing while sending to consumer but
still it does not fill till MTU limit. In my case I see it's just fill
maximum of 204 bytes from server to consumer ( showing basic-deliver,
content-body and content-header)
Is this the expected behavior of rabbit server ?

4) But I always see only individual frames (of individual methods) from
client to server.


Best Regards,
Priyanki.
