Comment (by cypherpunks):

 > It would be good to create a test with thousands of connections and
 different buffer sizes and see how much RAM it will actually use (with
 RamMap, for example)

 I believe it depends actual data, requesting 4M of SO_SNDBUF doesn't leads
 to 4M usage. You need to fill send queue by real data. So memory usage
 depends peers. Someone could to exploit it by filling system memory while
 your process doesn't aware about it, or something could go wrong for
 another reasons.
