[systemd-devel] [PATCH 1/2] socket: add support for tcp nagle

[Susant Sahani]

This patch adds support for TCP TCP_NODELAY socket
option. This can be configured via NoDelay conf
parameter.TCP Nagle's algorithm works by combining a number of
small outgoing messages, and sending them all at once.
This controls the TCP_NODELAY socket option
