Interesting. What network technology do you have underneath
this. Something reliable i presume since even small packet error rates
are going to cause big delay and inefficiencies with retries.

I don't know of anybody else using nearly jumbo packets. So you might
be running into bugs, or configuration tweaks might be needed.

Do you get a crash, or does write/sendto return an error code?
