The parameter is silently ignored if the system does not support +it. If supported, it sets the maximum number of UDP messages that can be obtained +with a single OS call. For systems with high UDP traffic, a relatively high batch +size can reduce system overhead and improve performance. However, this parameter +should not be overdone.
