Wasn't it an attempt to implement throttling ?
I have no idea. The documentation is pretty scarse, it's not used
anywhere but as a parameter passed from method to method, the event
type is never used to create an event ...
When requests are coming in faster than they're being processed
=> set TrafficMask to block reading
Which part of MINA is setting this flag ?
=> TCP buffers will fill up (OS level)
=> TCP will tell sender to slow down
=> OOM prevented
when queue of incoming messages gets smaller => resume reading
May be it's a part of a big DoS protection heuristic, but it seems to be
lagging seriously. Even the throttling filter is a bit incomplete ...
Anyone has a better picture than me on this matter ?
