> Certainly the Java, and probably the other clients do not obey flow-control commands from the broker. The Java broker never sends them to clients either. This is in the 0-8 spec. so not fully AMQP compliant without it. 
> Client Work
> -------------------
> Flow control to be implemented in clients. The clients must also have buffer limiting in place prior to this, or flow-controlling a client will only shift OOMEs from the broker to the clients. Bounded buffers plus back-pressure from the broker will should ultimately lead to the 'send' method blocking once the system as a whole is completely saturated. This may mean that the broker gets a needed opportunity to chew its way through the back-log, resulting in healthy throughputs under saturation. 
> Broker Work
> ------------------
> A strategy for deciding when to flow control clients from the broker needs to be decided upon. Flow-control has per-connection granularity, which makes deciding when to do it on a per route basis awkward. Flow-control may be triggered by: 
> 1. The broker being low on memory globally across the message store and all queues. 
> 2. A client attempting to publish to a queue that is beyond its max-depth. 
> 3. Based on history of destinations a client usually publishes to (or has published to), flow-control client if one of them is beyond max-depth. 
> A well-conditioned application will not experience 'send' blocking, except under exceptional loads, whereupon it will act as a safety valve to prevent either clients or broker from throwing OOME. The other scenario that may cause back-logs, is slow consumers without TTL. 
> No time estimate for this yet, as its a fairly large piece of work, and not yet decided exactly how its to be done. Need a design proposal before starting work, to be reviewed by the qpid-dev group.
