 ### Parameter Setting Suggestion
 
@@ -68,12 +67,13 @@ The setting of parameters is suggested as follows:
   - For example, the cost of each request is 100ms, and the request spread to each downstream address is 100QPS, the value is suggested to set to 10, because each connection handles 10 requests per second, 100QPS requires 10 connections to handle
   - In the actual scenario, the fluctuation of traffic is also necessary to be considered. Pay attention, the connection within MaxIdleTimeout will be recycled if it is not used
   - Summary: this value be set too large or too small would lead to degenerating to the short connection
-- `MinIdlePerAddress`: Assuming that there are periodic requests and the period is greater than `MaxIdleTimeout`, setting this parameter can avoid creating a new connection every time.
-  - The parameter consideration is similar to `MaxIdlePerAddress` and can be set according to the average latency of requests and the throughput.
-  - For example, if `MinIdlePerAddress` is set to 5 and the response time of each request is 100ms. 50 requests can be processed per second (50QPS) without creating a new connection.
 - `MaxIdleGlobal`: should be larger than the total number of `downstream targets number * MaxIdlePerAddress`
   - Notice: this value is not very valuable, it is suggested to set it to a super large value. In subsequent versions, considers discarding this parameter and providing a new interface
+  - Since v0.7.2, no limit for `MaxIdleGlobal` if not set. 
 - `MaxIdleTimeout`: since the server will clean up inactive connections within 10min, the client also needs to clean up long-idle connections in time to avoid using invalid connections. This value cannot exceed 10min when the downstream is also a Kitex service

 If you want to use custom implementations for the message or transport protocol, you can find help here [Extension of Codec](/docs/kitex/tutorials/framework-exten/codec/).
 
 ## Configuration
-
-You can configure the transport protocol when initializing the client:
-
+### Client
+#### Thrift
+1. Buffered: PurePayload (by default)
+2. configure Framed: prepend a 4-byte (int32) length before the Thrift pure payload
 ```go
-// client option
-client.WithTransportProtocol(transport.XXX)
+cli := xxx.NewClient("service_name", client.WithTransportProtocol(transport.Framed))
 ```
-
-Kitex Server supports protocol detection for all supported protocols and doesn't require explicit configuration.
-
-## Usage
-
-### Thrift + TTHeader
-
+3. configure TTHeader: the protocol for Byted Mesh (Service Mesh 协议 )
 ```go
-// client side
 var opts []client.Option
 opts = append(opts, client.WithTransportProtocol(transport.TTHeader))
 opts = append(opts, client.WithMetaHandler(transmeta.ClientTTHeaderHandler))
-cli, err := xxxservice.NewClient(targetService, opts...)
 
-// server side no need to config transport protocol
-var opts []server.Option
-opts = append(opts, server.WithMetaHandler(transmeta.ServerTTHeaderHandler))
-cli, err := xxxservice.NewServer(handler, opts...)
+cli := xxx.NewClient("service_name", opts)

+4. configure TTHeaderFramed: TTHeader | Framed (Bit OR)
+```go
+var opts []client.Option
+opts = append(opts, client.WithTransportProtocol(transport.TTHeaderFramed))
+opts = append(opts, client.WithMetaHandler(transmeta.ClientTTHeaderHandler))
+cli := xxx.NewClient("service_name", opts)
 ```
 
-### gRPC
-
+#### gRPC
+client configures gRPC protocol：
 ```go
-// client side
 var opts []client.Option
 opts = append(opts, client.WithTransportProtocol(transport.GRPC))

-cli, err := xxxservice.NewClient(targetService, opts...)
+cli := xxx.NewClient("service_name", client.WithTransportProtocol(transport.GRPC))
+```
+NOTE: if there's no streaming API in the IDL, this option is needed for enabling gRPC protocol, otherwise kitex will only send protobuf binary (not gRPC).
 
+### Server
+Multi-protocol is supported by default. Metahandlers should be configured to enable transparent information transmission.

@@ -14,60 +14,64 @@ description: Kitex 支持 TTHeader、HTTP2 传输协议。
 Kitex 目前支持两种传输协议：[TTHeader](../../../reference/transport_protocol_ttheader/)、HTTP2，但实际提供配置的 Transport Protocol 是：TTHeader、GRPC、Framed、TTHeaderFramed、PurePayload。
 
 这里做一些说明：
-
 - 因为 Kitex 对 Protobuf 的支持有 Kitex Protobuf 和 gRPC，为方便区分将 gRPC 作为传输协议的分类，框架会根据是否有配置 gRPC 决定使用哪个协议；
 - Framed 严格意义上并不是传输协议，只是标记 Payload Size 额外增加的 4 字节头，但消息协议对是否有 Framed 头并不是强制的，PurePayload 即没有任何头部的，所以将 Framed 也作为传输协议的分类；
 - Framed 和 TTHeader 也可以结合使用，所以有 TTHeaderFramed 。
 
 消息协议可选的传输协议组合如下：
 
-* Thrift: **TTHeader**(建议)、Framed、TTHeaderFramed
-* KitexProtobuf: **TTHeader**(建议)、Framed、TTHeaderFramed
+* Thrift: **TTHeader** (建议)、Framed、TTHeaderFramed
+* KitexProtobuf: **TTHeader** (建议)、Framed、TTHeaderFramed
 * gRPC: HTTP2
 
 如果想自定义消息协议和传输协议参考：[编解码(协议)扩展](../../framework-exten/codec)
 
-## 配置项
-
-Client 初始化时通过 `WithTransportProtocol` 配置传输协议：
+## 配置方式
+### Client
+#### Thrift
 
+1. 默认 Buffered：PurePayload
+2. 指定 Framed：PurePayload前增加 4 个字节（int32）指定 Payload Size
 ```go
-// client option
-client.WithTransportProtocol(transport.XXX)
+cli := xxx.NewClient("service_name", client.WithTransportProtocol(transport.Framed))
 ```
-
-Server 支持协议探测（在 Kitex 默认支持的协议内），无需配置传输协议。
-
-## 使用示例
-
-### Thrift + TTHeader
-
+3. 指定TTHeader：
 ```go
-// client side
