Cork is a system interface implemented by Linux and some *BSD systems to

This allows the system to reduce network fragmentation waiting for network
packets to be complete.

Using some replay capture and some instrumentation resulted in a
bandwith reduction of 11% and a packet reduction of 56%.

The tests was done using replay utility so results could be a bit different
from real cases as:
- replay goes as fast as it can, for instance packets could
   be merged by the kernel decreasing packet numbers and a bit
   byte spent (this actually make the following improves worse);
- there are fewer channels (no much cursor, sound, etc).
The following tests shows count packet and total bytes from server to
client using a real network. I used a direct cable connection using 1gb
connection and 2 laptops.

Hi Frediano,

It would be simpler to use !auto_flash or s->priv->use_cork
and also only keep one of use_cork and corked.
Possibly the logic is a bit different and not exactly what you want.

      if (socket_set_cork(s->socket, !auto_flash)) {
          return false;
      }

      s->priv->use_cork = !auto_flash;


+    return true;
  }

Uri.

void red_stream_flush(RedStream *s)
  {
+    if (s->priv->corked) {
+        socket_set_cork(s->socket, 0);
+        socket_set_cork(s->socket, 1);
+    }
  }
