Erlang的每个TCP网络链接是由相应的gen_tcp对象来表示的,说白了就是个port, 实现Erlang网络相关的逻辑,其实现代码位于erts/emulator/drivers/common/inet_drv.c

参照inet:setopts文档,它有三个buffer相关的选项,非常让人费解:

{buffer, Size}
Determines the size of the user-level software buffer used by the driver. Not to be confused with sndbuf and recbuf options which correspond to the kernel socket buffers. It is recommended to have val(buffer) >= max(val(sndbuf),val(recbuf)). In fact, the val(buffer) is automatically set to the above maximum when sndbuf or recbuf values are set.

{recbuf, Size}
Gives the size of the receive buffer to use for the socket.

{sndbuf, Size}
Gives the size of the send buffer to use for the socket.

其中sndbuf, recbuf选项比较好理解, 就是设置gen_tcp所拥有的socket句柄的内核的发送和接收缓冲区,从代码可以验证:

/* inet_drv.c */
#define INET_OPT_SNDBUF     6   /* set send buffer size */
#define INET_OPT_RCVBUF     7   /* set receive buffer size */
static int inet_set_opts(inet_descriptor* desc, char* ptr, int len)
{
...
        case INET_OPT_SNDBUF:    type = SO_SNDBUF;
            DEBUGF(("inet_set_opts(%ld): s=%d, SO_SNDBUF=%d\r\n",
                    (long)desc->port, desc->s, ival));
            break;
        case INET_OPT_RCVBUF:    type = SO_RCVBUF;
            DEBUGF(("inet_set_opts(%ld): s=%d, SO_RCVBUF=%d\r\n",
                    (long)desc->port, desc->s, ival));
            break;
...
        res = sock_setopt           (desc->s, proto, type, arg_ptr, arg_sz);
...
}

那buffer是什么呢,他们三者之间的关系? 从文档的描述来看:
It is recommended to have val(buffer) >= max(val(sndbuf),val(recbuf)). In fact, the val(buffer) is automatically set to the above maximum when sndbuf or recbuf values are set.
