- At high data rates more buffer space is required in order to avoid
packet loss during any cause of delay.
- On slower machines more buffer space is required in order to avoid
packet loss while decryption & tun writing is underway.
- On higher latency network paths more buffer space is required in order
to overcome BDP.
- On Linux set with SO_*BUFFORCE to bypass net.core.{r,w}mem_max.
- 7MB is the current default maximum on macOS 12.6
- Windows test is omitted, as Windows does not support getsockopt for
these options.
