Q:

Does Netty Expose the Number of Connections in the Backlog of the ParentGroup?

By setting a ChannelOption I can specify the backlog size of the queue handling incoming connections.
.option(ChannelOption.SO_BACKLOG, 100)
I want to instrument my code so that I can measure the capacity in the queue. Does Netty provide any means of exposing the current state of the backlog?

A:

No it does not as it is completely handled within the kernel of your OS.
