Output Replay Buffer Sizing
Buffer sizing balances memory use with continuity. Keep recent output, drop the rest.
Published: 2026-01-04 · Last updated: 2026-01-04
Output replay needs a bounded buffer. The goal is to keep recent output without turning the system into a log archive.
Practical sizing rules
- cap chunks and bytes,
- drop oldest output first,
- keep enough to cover typical disconnect gaps.
Why this matters
Too small and you miss critical output. Too large and memory usage grows without bounds.
