SO_SNDBUF 和 SO_RCVBUF 选项的疑问

[pexcn]

--inbound-recv-buffer-size
--inbound-send-buffer-size
--outbound-recv-buffer-size
--outbound-send-buffer-size

请问这些选项的推荐值是多少呢？应该如何设置？单位是 KB 还是 Byte ?

Just don't set it if you don't know how exactly they work. It doesn't need to be set for normal applications.

Thanks for your prompt reply.
According to shadowsocks/shadowsocks-libev#2781, it seems to improve performance when it is set correctly, and I have some pursuit of the performance. Can you briefly describe how it is adjusted?

[zonyitoo]

They are corresponding to SO_SNDBUF and SO_RCVBUF. You can Google these two options and you will find lots of references.

Thanks.
Then if I want to set to 8kb, should I use --inbound-recv-buffer-size 8k or --inbound-recv-buffer-size 8192 ?

[zonyitoo]

--inbound-recv-buffer-size 8192

You really shouldn’t mess with these settings. In fact, these options shouldn’t have been added in the first place. Having them will only lead to misconfiguration by user, and messy, untidy code where bugs can hide.
