Application protocol providing Reactive Streams semantics. RSocket provides a protocol for Reactive Streams semantics between client-server, and server-server communication. RSocket is a binary protocol for use on byte stream transports such as TCP, WebSockets, and Aeron. RSocket is intended to be consumed via one of the various implementation libraries which implement the RSocket Protocol. By default to make RSocket easier to use it copies the incoming Payload. Copying the payload comes at cost to performance and latency. If you want to use zero copy you must disable this. To disable copying you must include a payloadDecoder argument in your RSocketFactory. This will let you manage the Payload without copying the data from the underlying transport. You must free the Payload when you are done with them or you will get a memory leak. Used correctly this will reduce latency and increase performance.
