If you're producing data faster than you can get it out of the system, the
remainder either has to be buffered somewhere or discarded.

The kernel has fixed-size socket buffers (fixed in the sense that you have
to explicitly set the size via SO_SNDBUF); if you want auto-grow buffers,
you have to implement them in user space.
