CONFIG_ESP32_WIFI_DYNAMIC_TX_BUFFER_NUM

Max number of WiFi dynamic TX buffers

Type: int

Help

Set the number of WiFi dynamic TX buffers. The size of each
dynamic TXbuffer is not fixed, it depends on the size of each
transmitted data frame.

For each transmitted frame from the higher layer TCP/IP stack,
the WiFi driver makes a copy of it in a TX buffer. For some applications,
especially UDP applications, the upper layer can deliver frames faster
than WiFi layer can transmit. In these cases, we may run out of TX
buffers.
