Hello,

I don't understand why there is a difference between the send and
receive socket buffer sizes when using netperf.

Recv Socket Size (bytes) Send Socket Size (bytes)
16616 16192
33232 32768
65928 65536
131320 131072
262640 262144

I am using netperf over myrinet which has a MTU of 3752 bytes.

Any feedback is appreciated.

Ganesh
