Re: [Twisted-Python] How to cap the buffering size of data to be sent in Protocol class

My questions is that whether there is any mechanism in Twisted which can be used to set the maximum buffering size of the Protocol; and whenever if this cap is reached, I can be informed to give a chance to know the client is experiencing problem

You need to implement a producer/consumer interface. I'm not very familiar with them, but there have been good examples in the past. Basically your data source should be a producer and the protocol should be a consumer. When the protocol (consumer) buffer is full, it'll notify the producer to stop producing.
