Actually there is no way to tune it. On server side on Linux platforms
kernel will adjust send/recv buffer for you and it, in many situations,
does it good. On Windows I think this buffer (or send/recv) has fixed
size. You may try to change some Windows's registry settings, or proc
TCP/IP to decrease / increase max buffer size.
On Client side send/recv buffer should be auto tuned too, as Java uses
system sockets.
Of course, PGSQL internally has small buffer, as sockets doesn't use
TCP delay it size is 8k (I think it should be 16k).
I don't think it's good to manually tune this buffers (actually I done
two approaches for this), and system tuning is much more better.
If you are looking for some information about this search "TCP/IP
tuning" (you will get many how to determine good size of socket
recv/send buffers), and as well few links for kernel auto tuning.
