Number of outbound buffers
This field specifies the number of buffers to be allocated
for outbound data. Outbound buffers are used for
outbound data packets and are held by the transport
until they are acknowledged by the destination node.
Underallocation may adversely affect TCP throughput.
Overallocation may waste core memory.

The maximum number of connections is configured
here. If it is increased, consider increasing the
number of outbound buffers also.
Default value: 128
Range: 32–2048
