Unless, again, there's some sort of limit. 32 MB total, 512 connections, each socket gets 64 kB until it proves its worth. Sockets don't get to play the RED-ish game until they _prove_ that they're serious about sucking down data.
Once a socket proves its intentions (and periodically after that), it gets to use a BIG buffer, so we find out just how fast the connection can go.
That doesn't prevent an intentional local DoS though. -- Richard A Steenbergen <ras@e-gerbil.net> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras PGP Key ID: 0x138EA177 (67 29 D7 BC E8 18 3E DA B2 46 B3 D8 14 36 FE B6)
