Yes.

16384 is the default, in addition shoal compresses it's messages. while
it can be increased, however it comes at the risk of being fragmented
and possibly lost.

Yes. JXTA exposes several point-to-point messaging, JxtaBiDiPipe
provides direct socket channel interface, thus providing the highest
performance possible whenever possible, then JxtaSocket (a sub-class of
java.net.Socket, it currently does not provide direct interface to
socket channels due to it's blocking nature).
