Many folks tweak the send buffer settings on web and application servers as well as intermediate devices (proxies, load balancers, etc...) to optimize for high-speed, high-latency pipes. However, as this is often a system-wide configuration change, mucking with the SEND buffer sizes can directly impact the connection capacity of the system. Remember, "buffering" takes up memory, and so do connections (session and state table storage),1024 Words: Why Devops is Hard
