If you increase ability to flood on one flow, then you need to make sure receiver has big rcvbuf as well. echo 2000000 >/proc/sys/net/core/rmem_default Otherwise it might drop bursts. This is the kind of things that TCP does automatically, not UDP.
An alternative, if the application involved can make explicit setsockopt() calls to set SO_SNDBUF and/or SO_RCVBUF, is to tweak rmem_max and wmem_max and then let the application make the setsockopt() calls.
Which path one would take would depend on circumstances I suspect. rick jones -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
