This global option sets the maximum size of packets that Samba exchanges with a client. In some cases, setting a smaller maximum packet size can increase performance, especially with Windows for Workgroups. The default value for this option is
65535. You can override it as follows:
[global]
max xmit = 4096
The section Section B.2.2.6, The TCP receive window in Appendix B," in Appendix B,
Samba Performance Tuning," shows some uses for this option.
