According to the MSDN docs the ReceiveBufferSize defaults to 8192.
I checked and it’s not a result of a power of two which makes sense when using buffers.
Is there a special reason? Maybe due to the fact that there is some extra overhead with TCP?
2 to the power of 13 is 8192. So, yes it’s a power of 2.
Also note it’s also a multiple of 4096 which is incidentally the most popular virtual memory page size.
