There was a problem hiding this comment.
Also, I think you should update CHANGES.rst.

@N3xp7im3 there seems to be a documentation test failure, please take a look. |
The txdelay argument only applies to single bytes. Sending those packets over the Internet causes additional per packet overhead, as each packet only contains a single byte payload. Introduce an argument to group bytes into chunks, such that the txdelay applies to the chunk. This will reduce the overhead of packets send over the internet and better utilizes hardware FIFO's on the receiver side. The default chunk size is 1 byte.
