What is the maximum capacity of the Parameter Server? Or does ROS not impose a limit and the only constraint is the hardware on which ROS Master is running?

could you please describe the context in which you ask this question? What are you trying to achieve?

I'm loading a quite a few yaml config files, and the number of files and/or the content of existing files will grow as the project grows. So I was wondering just how much can I load on the Parameter Server before I hit a limit, if one exists.

"capacity" in what way?

Maximum nr of parameters, maximum size of an individual parameter? Something else?

Could be any. I want to find out if any constraint exists, be it number of parameters or maximum size per parameter or total number of megabytes (or whatever unit) taken up by all parameters or anything else.
