Motiviation: Linux provides the TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT socket option. This can be used to control how much unsent data is queued in the tcp kernel buffers. This can be important when application level protocols (SPDY, HTTP/2) have their own priority mechanism and don't want data queued in the kernel. Modifications: - The epoll module will have an additional socket option TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT - There will be JNI methods to control the underlying linux socket option mechanism Result: Linux EPOLL module exposes the TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT socket option. |

How to build
For the detailed information about building and developing Netty, please visit the developer guide. This page only gives very basic information.
You require the following to build Netty:
- Latest stable Oracle JDK 7
- Latest stable Apache Maven
- If you are on Linux, you need additional development packages installed on your system, because you'll build the native transport.
Note that this is build-time requirement. JDK 5 (for 3.x) or 6 (for 4.0+) is enough to run your Netty-based application.
Branches to look
The 'master' branch is where the development of the latest major version lives on. The development of all other versions takes place in each branch whose name is identical to <majorVersion>.<minorVersion>
. For example, the development of 3.9 and 4.0 resides in the branch '3.9' and the branch '4.0' respectively.
