Question about named pipe in linux

Hi,

I have a server (reader), client (writer) application in linux. I use
'named pipe' as the inter-process communication between the server and
client. My question is if the writer is faster than the reader, what
will happens? How much will the data be buffered if the reader is
slower than the writer?

Thank you for any help.
