To clarify: Linux per-socket buffer limit defaults to 128kB total (all queued 
packets). This is a hard limit. Only root can change the value.

That's way more than any sane over-DBus protocol would ever use. But that's 
orders of magnitures smaller than the DBus specification limit.

Also, I hope SOCK_SEQPACKET supports POLLOUT rather than drop packets, but 
that would need to be checked.
