INFORMIX SERVER / 5725A3900 / C10 - IDS 12.10

The communication protocol used by the Informix client and
server may involve a sequence of transferring many packets of
data from the client to the server. An example would be the
insert or update of large blob or character columns. Data is
sent by the client in packets of, for example, 1k or 4k bytes
but the size of each packet read by the Informix server may not
match. The amount of data received in each read call may vary
depending on the host server load or network characteristics and
may vary from a few bytes to multiple kb. The data returned by
each read call is stored in its own fixed size buffer with the
result that many such buffers  may be required.

The memory for the network data buffers is allocated from the
global memory pool. This pool is not automatically drained and
may become fragmented over time leading to more shared memory
being required in order to accommodate requests for the
relatively large network buffers.
