Can some one advise me if a thread pool executor (executor filter) is required when creating a Proxy like application, that just forwards the data from one IoSession to another? I saw the example proxy server code, and it does not use any thread pool. Can this setup handle several concurrent connections using the default IO processor threads (which looks like number of processors on the system, plus 1). I would like to know if the number of IO processor threads need to be increased, or is it preferred to use a executor filter to forward the messages received.
I appreciate your advise in this regards. Sai Pullabhotla
