Do you think that there will be also big changes in the protocol?
No not really. The protocol should remain mostly unchanged. In fact, except new "capabilities", there are no big changes. And these capabilities will only influence how frames will be exchanged between HAProxy and SPOAs.
With the current version, when a frame is sent to an agent, the connection is "locked", waiting the acknowledgment from the agent and cannot be used to handle another frame. So connections are underused and you need to have more opened connections than necessary.
With the next version, it will be possible to multiplex frames on connections. It will also be possible to send fragmented frames to agent when the payload size exceeds the frame size. However, it will not possible to receive such kind of frames in HAProxy for now.
