I just wanted to know if setting: net.inet.tcp.sendspace=65535
was a bad idea ?
Probably not.
I'm not sure about all the consequences this could have, if any...
Are you trying to solve a problem or tune network performance, or are you just asking what happens if you twiddle this particular knob? :-)
There's a formula involving network latency and bandwidth which is relevant; that, plus the amount of traffic (how many connections) determines how much RAM the larger network buffer size could/will take up. You haven't told us what the machine is being used for, either-- network tuning a fileserver talking to clients on the LAN can be quite different than tuning a webserver feeding clients using 56K modems.
