@ -447,10 +447,16 @@ update_socket_written(socket_table_t *table, channel_t *chan, size_t bytes)
* by only writing a channel's outbuf to the kernel if it has 8 cells or more
* in it.
*
* Note: The number 8 has been picked for no particular reasons except that it
* is 4096 bytes which is a common number for buffering. A TLS record can hold
* up to 16KiB thus using 8 cells means that a relay will at most send a TLS
* record of 4KiB or 1/4 of the maximum capacity of a TLS record.
* Note: The number 8 was picked so that, when using 512-byte cells, it
* would produce 4096 bytes: a common number for buffering. A TLS
* record can hold up to 16KiB; thus, using 8 512-byte cells means that
* a relay will at most send a TLS record of 4KiB or 1/4 of the maximum
* capacity of a TLS record.
*
* Of course, the above calculation became incorrect when we moved to
* 514-byte cells in order to accommodate a 4-byte circuit ID; we may
* want to consider profiling with '7' to see if it produces better
* results. (TODO)
