Netty and Protocol Buffers.

[Marco Villalobos]

I have a question on proper use of netty with protocol buffers.
I made extensive use of the LocalTime example in the documentation.

And I have some questions about best practices.

Let's say that there is a multithreaded application called X in which many
threads needs to make client calls to the netty server.

And we are using protocol buffers nio with netty.

FIRST QUESTION

In application X, how many clients should it use?

a) ONE client
b) A pool of clients?

SECOND QUESTION

In the example,

http://docs.jboss.org/netty/3.2/xref/org/jboss/netty/example/localtime/LocalTimeClientHandler.html

Would this be an inefficient implementation of a handler considering that it
will block at line 71 ?
