Are there any current, in play plans, to multi-thread rsync?

[Michael Brian - IL]

Thanks for the update.
 
We are using rsync to sync up the Oracle archived transaction logs to
our standby databases.
We would like to control the number of files that could be transfered in
parallel.
 
Thanks for the update.

Not at present.  That would be a pretty big protocol change, and is
probably something that would be best left to a new-protocol rewrite.
It would be quite interesting to have separate connections for the
hierarchy traversal code versus one or more file transfer connections
that were controlled by the traversal process, but that is not something
that I'm working on, nor have I heard about anyone else doing that.
