Maybe I should try to expand on this.
It is a manner of calling sendto() where every time but the last it's called
with
MSG_MORE. If I understood correctly, it causes the kernel to aggressively
optimize
network operations, because it knows that there is more data to come (i.e.
optimizing
packetization, using jumbo frames or similar systems).
