  • This patch enhances TIPC's stream socket send routine so that
    it avoids transmitting data in chunks that require fragmentation
    and reassembly, thereby improving performance at both the
    sending and receiving ends of the connection.

    The "maximum packet size" hint that records MTU info allows
    the socket to decide how big a chunk it should send; in the
    event that the hint has become stale, fragmentation may still
    occur, but the data will be passed correctly and the hint will
    be updated in time for the following send. Note: The 66060 byte
    pseudo-MTU used for intra-node connections requires the send
    routine to perform an additional check to ensure it does not
    exceed TIPC"s limit of 66000 bytes of user data per chunk.
