session data unit (SDU)
A buffer that Oracle Net uses to place data before transmitting across the network. Oracle Net sends the data in the buffer either when requested or when it is full. When large amounts of data are being retrieved and when packet size is consistently the same, it may speed retrieval to adjust the default SDU size.
