Hello Sean, actual overhead in terms of how many bytes – depends on your serialiser.
1) Yes, a message includes the sender. Not much optimisations in there currently, although we have nice ideas on what we can do within a cluster (short "handles" instead of full addresses), 2) Refer to: http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/snapshot/scala/serialization.html Strings are a byte array, the envelope is protobuf (you can find it in `akka-remote`), other kinds of payload is whatever you configured – defaults to java serialisation. 3) Of the entire message? It depends on your serialiser. Hope this helps, happy hakking :-) On Wed, Aug 6, 2014 at 1:43 PM, Sean Zhong <[email protected]> wrote: > Suppose I want to transfer a msg to another machine > > otherActor ! “hello" > > what is the wire message overhead? > > 1. the wire messge need to have information about ActorRef, will the > ActorRef be attached for every message, or will it be cached on target > machine, so the sender only need to attach an Id? > 2.
