socketbuffers
Socket buffers are memory regions used by a computer's networking stack to hold data that is being sent or received over a socket. They help decouple application I/O from network I/O and provide buffering that smooths differences in processing speeds between the application, the transport protocol, and the network.
On most systems there are separate buffers for the send path and the receive path. In Linux,
Data flows through socket buffers during normal operation. When an application writes to a socket, data is
Buffer sizes influence performance and latency. Applications and systems configure buffer sizes with options such as
Effective management of socket buffers involves aligning buffer sizes with workload characteristics, monitoring memory pressure, and
