Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users How does netcat manage the data it transfers ? Post 302349384 by qiulang on Monday 31st of August 2009 10:25:23 PM

8k
Thanks for replying although this was not what I was looking for.

I find from here Netcat: the TCP/IP swiss army saying that "Data from the network connection is always delivered to standard output as efficiently as possible, using large 8K reads and writes."

So I guess 8k is the buffer size and if data is bigger than 8k while connect has not been established, the "oldest" data will be discarded. Can anyone confirm ?

Thanks!
