For the WINC1500, SOCKET_BUFFER_MAX_LENGTH defines the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) to be 1400 bytes.
Assuming I've got an open socket in the WINC and I need to send more than one MTU, which is the right approach:
1. Issue multiple send() commands (with slices of 1400 bytes or less) without waiting for SOCKET_MSG_SEND callbacks.
2. Send one slice, wait for the SOCKET_MSG_SEND callback before sending the next slice.
3. Something else.
?
Thanks in advance.
Update:
I've tried approach #1 (call send() repeatedly for each slice without waiting), and all the calls to send() elicit M2M_SUCCESS responses.
But in the SOCKET_MSG_SEND callback, the first callback reports success (1400 bytes), but the second callback reports -12, which I believe is M2M_ERR_FAIL (which is not very helpful).

Approach #2 is the way to go - you can only have one send() in flight at a time, so wait for the callback before the next call to send().
As I understand it, SOCKET_BUFFER_MAX_LENGTH does not indicate the network interface's MTU. That will be handled somewhere in the WINC1500 firmware's TCP/IP stack. I would expect the firmware to concatenate data from multiple send() calls into MTU-sized packets where possible.
In fact I just tested here by capturing the TCP handshake between my Mac and a WINC1500 device (firmware 19.4.4). The WINC1500 sets MSS=1446 in its SYN/ACK reply to my Mac's SYN. This could imply that the WINC1500 network interface uses an MTU of 1486 bytes.
