Adding back pressure to inbound connections is something that we do
need to add. The approach Michael suggests, of just ignoring an
inbound connection until we’re ready to process it, certainly would
work. The downside is that this requires the caller of the API to
manage their own array of pending inbound connections. One option
we’ve considered is allowing the application to specify a “receive
connection window size” on a listener, thus defining how many more
inbound connections they’re ready to handle at a given time. What do
people think about this approach?
Yes, that should be effective. One thing that needs to be avoided is the
possibility of an attacker (or software error) causing huge numbers of
Connection objects to be created.
