Hi,

After UDP overallocation is fixed (patch send), I think Francois's patch
should be taken back to consideration. Atleast code comments talks about memory
usage and it then should focus more on actual memory usage instead of
just playbook bookkeeping.

DTV is another access that has this issue of overallocating, but I can
try to check it next. But I'm not sure if buffer of tens of megabytes is
necessary in that at all.
