[Gluster-users] cache before threads or visa versa

Thanks Raghavendra,

I take it then that a client only makes one TCP conenction to a brick then.

Can the TCP client/server protocol in gluster interleave requests or 
will requests get held up if a brick takes a long time to respond to a 
previous request?

Thanks,

Ian
