How in the world would you ever be able to figure out what value the kernel is using for the receive buffer? It also isn't an exact science, doubling the value is best effort. For example, if you, for example, receive a lot of tiny UDP packets, wherein the "struct sk_buff" overhead far exceeds the amount of data in the packet, it still might not work out. You could specify 100K and only be able to receive say 60K of receive data in the socket at once. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
