> The memory footprint of the TrasportImpl can be quite high when using large maxFrameSizes (for example 1MB). In the TrasportImpl of proton-j there are two classes TrasportOutputAdaptor and FrameParser (TrasportImpl has a member of both) that hold a ByteBuffer of maxFrameSize throughout their lifetime. In the case of the 1MB frame size that means that each transport has a fairly high memory footprint (2MB) considering that this memory is hardly ever used, i.e. only when there is a frame to transfer in/out and in most cases the frame will not be maxFrameSize. Because there is a Transport for every connection the memory usage can become quite high when dealing with many connections with large maxFrameSize, e.g. 2GB for only 1000 connections.
> An proof of concept implementation for reducing the memory footprint by only allocating the buffers when needed can be found here:
