DefaultBufferSize

std::size_t jsocketpp::DefaultBufferSize

inlineconstexpr

Default internal buffer size (in bytes) for TCP socket read operations.

This constant defines the default size (4096 bytes / 4 KB) of the internal read buffer used by both Socket and ServerSocket instances unless explicitly overridden.

It applies to:

• Client-side Socket instances constructed without a custom buffer size
• Server-accepted Socket instances created via ServerSocket::accept()

Rationale

• Memory-efficient: 4096 bytes matches the typical memory page size on most operating systems.
• Performance-optimized: Large enough to hold common protocol messages (e.g., HTTP headers, WebSocket frames) without reallocation or multiple reads.
• Concurrency-friendly: Balances throughput and memory footprint across thousands of concurrent connections.

Customization

• You may override this value by:
  • Passing a custom bufferSize to Socket or ServerSocket::accept()
  • Calling setInternalBufferSize() after construction
  • Setting SO_RCVBUF via setReceiveBufferSize() for kernel buffer tuning

When to Adjust

• Increase if your application routinely expects:
  • High-throughput data transfers
  • Large protocol frames (e.g., file uploads, streaming)
• Decrease for memory-constrained or embedded environments
