[erlang-questions] Problems with sending UDP datagrams without buffering

[Matt Williamson]

It's apparent from the subject, that Mark is talking about UDP datagrams.
I agree with Trevor's suggestion. Check out

{sndbuf, Integer}Gives the size of the send buffer to use for the socket.
So: gen_udp:open( Port, [binary, {sndbuf, 700}] ).
