Its not about the memory, its about the resulting queueing delay.
If you buffer packets for 64 seconds the sender will retransmit
them and you end up wasting bandwidth.

I know it worked before. But I can't think of a reason why anyone
would want a buffer that large. Why do you want to queue packets
for up to 64 seconds?
