rmem_max more than rmem_default

  • 772

I just installed centos 6.3 freshly and noticed the following:

[root@localhost user1]# cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 6.3 (Final)

[root@localhost user1]#

[root@localhost user1]# cat /proc/sys/net/core/rmem_max 131071

[root@localhost user1]# cat /proc/sys/net/core/rmem_default 229376

[root@localhost user1]# cat /proc/sys/net/core/wmem_max 131071

[root@localhost user1]# cat /proc/sys/net/core/wmem_default 229376

As you can see rmem_max is "Lesser " than rmem_default and wmem_max is "Lesser" than wmem_default.

As per my knowledge wmem_max and rmem_max should be more than default values ?

EDIT:

# cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 6.3 (Final)

# uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Jun 22 12:19:21 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Bear in mind that the value of rmem_default should be no greater than rmem_max (/proc/sys/net/core/rmem_max); if need be, increase the value of rmem_max.

    if it is "2.6.32-279" then it is a bug, upgrade it. Should be either equal or more as you mentioned in the link.
