> Per-user limits are not necessarily the answer.

Seeing myself say this reminds me that it seems to have been missed in
all of this that we do have a limit per user already.

There is a per-socket send buffer limit, and there is a per-user open
file descriptor limit.  Multiply the two to determine how much system
memory the user can consume using sockets.

This is why I view a lot ofthis work as quite pointless.  We already
have limits, but nobody wants to use them for performance reasons :-)
