// limits the amount of unsent data queued in the kernel write buffer:
// once the unsent backlog drops below the threshold, the socket becomes
// writable again, applying back-pressure to the relay loop instead of
// piling up data in kernel buffers. This reduces per-connection memory
// and bufferbloat.
//
// A non-positive value disables the call, leaving the kernel default in
// effect (no upper bound beyond SO_SNDBUF).
