Socket size

[pradeepks_61]

I have a socket program wherein the size of the UDP socket is 8192 and the incoming data is of variable size, usually higher than 8192 in some cases upto 32768. My question is if the incoming packet is bigger than the socket buffer size will the packet get chopped. I Have no way of debugging this problem cause im with the clients and cant afford to access sample data. I have an option to increase the socket buffer size, will this change alter the performance of the system.
