Am I on crack? Or is this sensible. One other OS seems to have theirs
default to 512k. I'd personally prefere 1MB, but can be swayed.
Just wondering, how is the 1MB number obtained? As an example
of client usage, I use VPN to connect back to the US Sun network
from Hong Kong. The path also goes through some NAT box. I
use a xDSL link with 30Mbps/10Mbps (down/up) speed. The RTT
is ~185ms to machines in Santa Clara. Even in the best case
scenario, I don't think 1MB buffer size is needed for bulk data
transfer. I understand that my xDSL link is probably on the slow
side. But I guess it is not that uncommon. Even doing BT around
the globe, 1MB is probably too much.
I think the default should be changed.
