Comments after using Wireshark to sniff on the packets being sent: On 20 Oct 2011, at 16:10, Emmanuel Lecharny wrote:

Using MINA's "no delay" option and sending around 439 bytes of data the Ethernet frame captured by Wireshark reports a total frame length of 505 bytes. (505 = 6 (MAC) + 6 (MAC) + 2 (Type) + 20 (IP header) + 32 (TCP header) + 439 (data)) If I enable Nagle's algorithm, several messages get crammed into a single ethernet frame (up to the aforementioned MTU value). Just thought I'd share my findings... Zigor.
