[tipc-discussion] Reg: TIPC socket buffer size recommendation

[prakash b. <ps1...@gm...>]

Hi  John/Xin,Tung,

I hope you guys are doing well.


I need some suggestions about using a TIPC socket for the "SOCK_SEQPACKET"
type while using a UDP bearer.

There is a use case where the incoming traffic is very high for a short
period intermittently.

1. As TIPC creates a UDP socket for a bearer and multiple TIPC sockets are
kind of multiplexed into one UDP socket. Can it slow the performance when
the incoming traffic is high?

2. Can we increase the buffer size of the TIPC UDP socket alone without
changing the system level default receive buffer size ?

I would like to increase the socket buffer size to reduce the packet drops
and be efficient but don't want to change the default value at the
system level.

Please advise what is recommended in this case.


Kernel version : 4.19.81

Socket type :      SOCK_SEQPACKET



Would appreciate any help.


Thanks,

Prakash
