[jira] [Commented] (PROTON-1523) [proton c] API unclear how incoming_capacity and max_frame work

>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-1523
>             Project: Qpid Proton
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: proton-c
>    Affects Versions: proton-c-0.17.0
>            Reporter: Chuck Rolke
>            Priority: Major

> Two settings are available to throttle incoming traffic. These operate in units of bytes:
> * pn_transport_set_max_frame
> * pn_session_set_incoming_capacity
> Suppose a user sets a max_frame to 1 Mbyte and incoming_capacity to 2 Mbytes. How many 200-byte hello-world messages might a user expect to be able to receive before the local incoming-window closes? 10,000? The answer turns out to be 2.
> The logical disconnect is that the user interface incoming_capacity operates in bytes but the AMQP protocol over the wire operates with an Incoming-Window in frames. In the user's case the API assumes full frames and sets  Incoming-Window = (incoming_capacity / max_frame), or 2. When the sending peer sends 200-byte messages the actual incoming capacity is 400 bytes and not 2Mbytes.
> The rules (AFAICT) are:
> {noformat}
>   IF (max_size is specified)
>     incoming_window = incoming_capacity / max_size
>   ELSE
>     incoming_window = 2147473647
>   ENDIF
> {noformat}
> Noting:
> * Incoming capacity is achieved only if the peer sends max_size frames.
> * If max_frame is not set then the incoming_capacity setting is ignored.
