Patch PE83-1908060
------------------

Platforms: All

* The dbrepl communication buffer size is now configurable.
  Previously, the communication buffer size was 32000 bytes.

  A higher buffer size may improve replication throughput in high
  latency network environments. Network latency limits the number
  of client/server transactions per second. For example, a latency
  of 20 ms means a maximum of 50 transactions per seconds, which
  in turn limits replication throughput to 1.6 MB per second given
  the default buffer size (50 * 32000 bytes).

  In such a case, configuring a higher buffer size can help to
  utilize the available network bandwidth.

  The buffer size may be configured using the -B command line option
  or the BufferSize item if a configuration file is used.

  The size is specified in bytes. The k or m suffix may be used to
  specify the size in kilobytes (1024) or megabytes (1048576).
  The default buffer size is 32000 bytes. The maximum buffer size
  is 1048576 bytes (1M).
