Setting the the size of the operating system's receive buffer

[hasso]

Default size of the receive buffer OSes are assigning to connections isn't often big enough for receiving a lot of traffic and it needs to be adjusted. There isn't a way to do it at the moment from application using go-collectd and I have to patch go-collectd itself - it shouldn't be necessary.

Hi @hasso, thanks for reporting this.

I don't think proxying all sorts of UDP settings through the network API is the right way to go. What do you think about this approach:

• Add Conn *net.UDPConn to the Server type.
• If Conn == nil, use Addr to create a new *net.UDPConn with default settings.
• Otherwise, use the user-provided Conn.

Best regards,

That should fix this.. If this doesn't work for your case, let me know!
