TCP_OVERSIZE: The maximum number of bytes that tcp_write may allocate ahead of time in an attempt to create shorter pbuf chains for transmission. The meaningful range is 0 to TCP_MSS. Some suggested values are: 0: Disable oversized allocation. Each tcp_write() allocates a new pbuf (old behaviour). 1: Allocate size-aligned pbufs with minimal excess. Use this if your scatter-gather DMA requires aligned fragments. 128: Limit the pbuf/memory overhead to 20%. TCP_MSS: Try to create unfragmented TCP packets. TCP_MSS/4: Try to create 4 fragments or less per TCP packet.
