As I understand it, the TCP or UDP recv_hiwat tunable should be roughly equal 
to the bandwidth delay product ?

For a 100Mbps link I can see that a setting of 64KB should be plenty, but what 
if you have a 1Gbps link with similar latency, should I tune the tcp_recv_hiwat 
up to around the 250KB mark?
(I understand the both the increased impact this has on the required memory for 
the buffers and that it only relates to RFC1323-compliant systems. I'm asking 
because I'm seeing NoCanPuts on a 1Gbps interface which has already had the TCP 
and UDP recv_hiwat set to 64KB)

If this is the case, is it possible to tune this variable for 100Mbps and 1Gbps 
links seperately ?
