Advanced NICs can shared buffers with the application to minimize data copying overhead. If we are going to write pluggable protocols that support such optimizations we will have to make the CDR buffers available from the connection. Since the amount of memory available through that mechanism could be limited it is important to count on GIOP message fragmentation to send large messages through the ORB. It could be hard to integrate this optimizations with other TAO features, such as zero-copy for octet sequences (and other data types in the future), because in that case the buffer is allocated by the application.
Accepted.
