CONFIG_ESP32_WIFI_STATIC_TX_BUFFER_NUM

Max number of WiFi static TX buffers

Type: int

Help

Set the number of WiFi static TX buffers. Each buffer takes approximately
1.6KB of RAM. The static RX buffers are allocated when esp_wifi_init() is
called, they are not released until esp_wifi_deinit() is called.

For each transmitted data 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.
