[jira] Commented: (AXISCPP-749) Currently TCP_NODELAY is turned off. This is only efficient when the messages are small.

nadir amra commented on AXISCPP-749:
------------------------------------

Not sure what omission is?  The code is turning off buffering, so that small packets get sent immediately without having to wait. This does not affect large chunks of data, which will get sent. 

I do admit if we were doing writes of say 2-3 bytes of data 1000's of times, I would have a problem with this option being sent. But we are not.

Can we close this issue?

> When the message is not so small, does this omission degrade the socket performance?  Would it be better to set a threshold and perhaps change the socket options 'on the fly' when the message size dictates that it should be handled differently?
