What I miss is a description of your connection management
in this case and the protocol definition.
Writing a chapter about the Ice protocol is on our todo list

BTW, the Ice protocol is of course versioned, so should we decide some day to add fragmentation, we could certainly do this. It's a tradeoff features vs. complexity. So far, we didn't consider this feature important.

Another possibility would be to solve this at the transport level: Create a TCP/IP-based transport plug-in that is capable of sending messages in fragments. I think this would be simpler & cleaner: The Ice protocol would stay the same, but the specialized transport would fragment messages.
