(1) netipx default socket buffer sizes are very small by contemporary
standards, and should be increased following testing and measurement.
(2) SPX will free the PCB and socket buffer memory on close(), which means
close() in effects terminates the transfer of any outstanding buffered
but unsent data. As with TCP, it should instead grab its own
reference to the socket so that it is not released, as hold onto it
until the data transfer is complete.
