Rationale behind xfrChannelSize set to const value of 10 and 150

[ipochi]

I'd like to understand the reasons for choosing const xfrChannelSize = 150 in pkg/agent/client.go and const xfrChannelSize = 10 in pkg/server/server.go

I see a lot of logs in the konnectivity-server with

What are my options to improve ? Make the xfrChannelSize configurable via the cli flag ? I'd like to know some historical context as to what thoughts were put into this value?

Also correct me if I'm wrong if the above xfrChannelSize has everything/nothing to do with the above log.

@cheftako do you think this history could be a discussion for the next OSS biweekly? I remember some of the history here but you have the most context.

The meeting on 2024-03-20 discussed this topic. (@cheftako can you find the recording link?)

@ipochi do you want to pursue adding flags to support changing these values?

I have found the same issue, any progress on this one?
Can I help with this topic?

[cnvergence]

I would like to work on it, being able to open PR soon, would it work for your @ipochi?
