-* @remark other macros:
-*       SOCKET_MAX_BUF, the max size of user-space buffer.
-*       SOCKET_READ_SIZE, the user space buffer for socket.
-*       SRS_MR_MAX_BITRATE_KBPS, the kbps of stream for system to guess the sleep time.
-*       SRS_MR_AVERAGE_BITRATE_KBPS, the average kbps of system.
-*       SRS_MR_MIN_BITRATE_KBPS, the min kbps of system.
-*       SRS_MR_MAX_SLEEP_MS, the max sleep time, the latency+ when sleep+.
-*       SRS_MR_SMALL_BYTES, sleep when got small bytes, the latency+ when small+.
-*       SRS_MR_SMALL_PERCENT, to calc the small bytes = SRS_MR_SOCKET_BUFFER/percent.
-*       SRS_MR_SOCKET_BUFFER, the socket buffer to set fd.
-* @remark the actual socket buffer used to set the buffer user-space size.
-*       buffer = min(SOCKET_MAX_BUF, SRS_MR_SOCKET_BUFFER, SOCKET_READ_SIZE)
-*       small bytes = max(buffer/SRS_MR_SMALL_PERCENT, SRS_MR_SMALL_BYTES)
-*       sleep = calc the sleep by kbps and buffer.
-* @remark the main merged-read algorithm:
-*       while true:
-*           nread = read from socket.
-*           sleep if nread < small bytes
-*           process bytes.
 * @example, for the default settings, this algorithm will use:
-*       socket buffer set to 64KB,
-*       user space buffer set to 64KB,
-*       buffer=65536B, small=4096B, sleep=780ms
 *       that is, when got nread bytes smaller than 4KB, sleep(780ms).
