Yeah, this looks odd.

Note that right after a connect() or accept(), getsocktop(SO_SNDBUF)
might be very different than the 'default=16384'

Otherwise, we could not even send the first 10 packets for IW10 from one
sendmsg(), or a single full packet on loopback interface (MTU=65536)

Anyway, 16384 bytes as default buffer size on netperf is fine.
