u need to be clear that u are sending data on a tcp
socket,
assuming that the connection is already established,
the sending entity will timeout bocause the receiver
has crashed( and hence it gets no ACKs)
an ETIMEDOUT error should occur.

with a TCP socket, the receive buff is equal to the
window size advertised to the peer, so it will not
overflow.however, excess data if recvd is discarded.
both UDP/TCP buffers can be altered using setsockopt
with the SO_RCVBUF and SO_SNBUF options.
however,be careful!
