Allright, thanks.

But, i still have a question about Flexpages.
So my problem with the shared DS is that i have one server but multiple 
clients.

I could use one DS for each client, but this might waste too much MEM 
for an embedded system.
(I admit, this is a bit of a theoretical problem, since todays embedded 
systems are so "big" and strong.)
I also could use only one DS on the server side, which any client uses, 
separately.
But this solution is not an option if there are sensitive data 
transmitted between client and server.

So is Flexpage the way to go? Is this even the reason why flexpage 
exists, beside shared mem.

Is Flexpage suitable for 4kB?
Do u have an example design? Maybe this one: 
pkg/examples/libs/l4re/streammap/.
