You misunderstand. The fix is to accumulate mbufs in a chain until either a) The protocol gets all of the data that it wanted, or b) All of the data that the user has provided has been copied into mbufs. (b) is what sosend() used to do. The URL referenced (the one with "vanj88" in it) describes why sosend() was changed to use only a single mbuf at a time, but this performance problem was not envisioned at the time.
