+ *
+ * Note: as of 20120527, the CA_VSTREAM_CTL_BUFSIZE request can reduce the
+ * stream buffer size to less than VSTREAM_BUFSIZE, when the request is
+ * made before the first stream read or write operation. We don't want to

+ *
+ * As of 20190820 we increase the mss size multipler from 2x to 4x, because
