This value defines the maximum segment size of TCP data that the Winsock can receive. It is derived automatically from the MaxMTU value, as MaxMTU minus 40 (which is the length of the TCP and IP headers).
This is done because if a segment contains more data than the MTU frame size fragmentation will always occur, causing a drastic reduction in performance.
