It is supported to set whatever SO_SNDBUF value and get terrible performance.
It always has been.
The only difference is that we no longer allow an attacker to fool TCP stack
and consume up to 2 GB per socket while SO_SNDBUF was set to 128 KB.
The side effect is that in some cases, the workload can appear to have the signature of the attack.
The solution is to increase your SO_SNDBUF, or even better let TCP stack autotune it.
nobody forced you to set very small values for it.
