The default of 4 MB was insufficient for you? I never hit that size
during my tests.

It has worked fine here for us. I can dig up the script we use if you'd
like.

The primary reason is that we want it to work over any transport,
including proxies (like SSH tunnels). TCP_INFO would also make it Linux
specific. And bouncing it off the client means that we get some flow
control in that the server will back off if the client is taking too
long processing things.
