TCP_CALCULATE_EFF_SEND_MSS: "The maximum size of a segment that TCP really sends, the 'effective send MSS,' MUST be the smaller of the send MSS (which reflects the available reassembly buffer size at the remote host) and the largest size permitted by the IP layer" (RFC 1122) Setting this to 1 enables code that checks TCP_MSS against the MTU of the netif used for a connection and limits the MSS if it would be too big otherwise.
