improve performance of netty tcp

[arshad dar]

i have a netty tcp route which looks like this


netty-route=netty4:tcp://localhost:82?allowDefaultCodec=false&encoder=#myByteArrayMessageEncoder&decoder=4#myEBCDICLengthDecoder&sync=true&clientMode=true&connectTimeout=10000&correlationManager=#myMessageCorrelator&producerPoolEnabled=false


i am sending my tcp message to this route. the external system responds
between 50ms and 500ms. the problem is right now the route in able to
process 5 to 8 messages per second.


below is the complete configuration of route

from("direct:source")
        .routeId("vPlus")
        .streamCaching()
        .to(netty-route);


is there any way i can improve this?
