You can write multiple times, and it generates more than one messageReceived events. Another issue is that messages may be received in parts (due to network > latency or other network behavior).

My suggestion is to use DemuxingProtocolCodecFactory. SumUp example demonstrates this codec. If your codec is simple enough, you could use CumulativeProtocolDecoder, too.
