> There is a significant overhead for SSL connections.
> Investigation shows that every SSL connection requires an SSLHandler, which 
> contains 3 buffers:
> - Two buffers for encrypted inbound and outbound packets, respectively.
> - One buffer for decrypted application data
> The buffer sizes are computed as follows:
> Packet buffer size = the current size of the largest SSL/TLS packet that is 
> expected when using this session (SSLSession.packetBufferSize())
> Application buffer size = 2 x packet buffer size
> In Sun JSSE the SSLSession.packetBufferSize() equals to 16K, which implies a 
> total of 64K SSL buffer space per connection. For 10K active this means that 
> 640MB of memory is required just for SSL buffers.
> Such overhead really limits the number of concurrent connections an 
> application can support. 
> A possible resolution is to dynamically re-adjusting the buffer capacity, and 
> allowing to configure the initial buffer sizes.
