Netty works on Boss-Worker thread concept, where for each sub sequent connection request netty assigns a Boss thread which internally creates a new worker thread for each request. By default no of worker thread are (2 *no of core in your machine) ,Post camel-netty 2.9.1 it's expose worker thread property to restrict or upgrade worker threads. I dont think you can restrict Boss thread and hey it's the concept of NIO server e.g Mina, Netty , these should not restrict your connections requests just delay it.
If you really require it you can maintain it by maintaing a hashMap of connections checking size before allowing it to pass it to Netty. -- View this message in context: http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/camel-netty-restrict-connections-tp5723951p5724197.html Sent from the Camel - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
