tcp-buffer-sizeparameter

Sets the size of the output buffer. By default no output-buffering for TCP output is done, but to improve performance by minimizing the number of TCP packets, buffering may be turned on by setting this parameter to an exact integer greater zero. A buffer size of zero or #f turns buffering off. The setting of this parameter takes effect at the time when the I/O ports for a particular socket are created, i.e. when tcp-connect or tcp-accept is called.

Note that since output is not immediately written to the associated socket, you may need to call flush-output, once you want the output to be transmitted. Closing the output port will flush automatically.
