Should probably do a SO_SNDBUF * to set the send buffer size as well, but that may not be desirable * in heavy-load situations. */ on = 1; if (setsockopt(s, IPPROTO_TCP, TCP_NOPUSH, (char *)&on, sizeof on) < 0) syslog(LOG_WARNING, "setsockopt (TCP_NOPUSH): %m"); #endif #ifdef SO_SNDBUF on = 65536; if (setsockopt(s, SOL_SOCKET, SO_SNDBUF, (char *)&on, sizeof on) < 0) syslog(LOG_WARNING, "setsockopt (SO_SNDBUF): %m"); #endif That caused the kernel to panic for certain ftp transfers (small mtu, I think).
