Github user NicoK commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/3467 Hi @zhijiangW, actually, the solution I am working on is to replace the network buffers parameter by something like "max memory in percent" and "min MB to use". For this to not create buffer bloat in our network stack, I have started to implement limited `LocalBufferPool` instances which tune their size based on the actual number of outgoing and ingoing channels. It is actually not much more complicated than this and I already started on this in my local branch at https://github.com/NicoK/flink/tree/flink-4545 - expect a new PR within the week with more details.
