The first thread pool filter is never different from the second one. It is not related with the byte buffer pool we provide. This two thread pool filter model is very similar to that of SEDA, a Staged Event Driven Architecture. There's no best answer actually though. It is usually OK with one thread pool filter, but I think you can use multiple pools between the filters and handler if each has different performance characterstics. Just doing some performance tests will help you decide.
