Hi Matan,

As Luis pointed out, the configuration that sets the remoting frame-size
limit is akka.remote.netty.tcp.maximum-frame-size. If messages exceed this
limit they will be dropped and logged. As for checking the size of your
messages, you should use a serializer in remoting that allows you to
carefully control the size of your messages. Protobuf is quite OK for that
but Java serialization is very unpredictable in this regard.

As for transferring large messages, fragmentation is considered good
practice even if we are not talking about Akka. Another option is to open
up a dedicated side-channel (e.g. a TCP based server using akka.io) and use
it for transferring large amount of data, and use akka remoting as the
control channel.
