> Even if we make the floating buffers optional, we still require {{taskmanager.network.memory.buffers-per-channel}} number of (exclusive) buffers per incoming channel with credit-based flow control while without, the minimum was 1 and only the maximum number of buffers was influenced by this parameter.
> {{taskmanager.network.memory.buffers-per-channel}} is set to {{2}} by default with the argumentation that this way we will have one buffer available for netty to process while a worker thread is processing/deserializing the other buffer. While this seems reasonable, it does increase our minimum requirements. Instead, we could probably live with {{1}} exclusive buffer and up to {{gate.getNumberOfInputChannels() * (networkBuffersPerChannel - 1) + extraNetworkBuffersPerGate}} floating buffers. That way we will have the same memory footprint as before with only slightly changed behaviour.
