Todd Lipcon commented on HDFS-1601:
-----------------------------------

The one-byte packets were all '0x00'. I don't have the pcap file handy anymore, 
but I imagine each of the "write" calls inside PipelineAck.write() resulted in 
a packet.

> Pipeline ACKs are sent as lots of tiny TCP packets

> I noticed in an hbase benchmark that the packet counts in my network 
> monitoring seemed high, so took a short pcap trace and found that each 
> pipeline ACK was being sent as five packets, the first four of which only 
> contain one byte. We should buffer these bytes and send the PipelineAck as 
> one TCP packet.
