Probably what is happening is that sendfile() is counting bytes successfully inserted into the send socket buffer, rather than bytes sent on the wire. This is consistent with what happens when you write a file to a TCP socket, though, as you only know the bytes made it into the buffer, not to the remote destination. I'd guess the threshold size you're seeing above is the size of the default send socket buffer. Robert N M Watson Computer Laboratory University of Cambridge
